Incubation for Fostering Startup Enterprises
Specific Measures and Implementation Status
- To strengthen the support for innovative, startup, and youth entrepreneurship teams, the TPEx launched the "Go Incubation Board for Startup and Acceleration(GISA) Plus" in January 2025. This initiative actively expands the scale of companies under the GISA Board, assisting small, medium, and micro innovative enterprises at various development stages in matching the resources they need to accelerate growth and development.
- In April 2025, the Securities and Futures Bureau permited securities firms to invest in new share issuances on the GISA platform. These investments can be offset against the subscription quotas required from them during the Emerging Stock Board stage, thereby increasing securities firms' attention to the funding needs of small, medium, and micro-enterprises, which is beneficial for these businesses in obtaining operational capital.
