This May, Taiwan Startup Stadium (TSS) headed to the United States with the winners of the Rock the Mic competition that was held back in February. From the 40 teams that participated, 12 were chosen for an all-expenses-paid trip to San Francisco and New York City. From May 8 to 19, these teams showed an international audience what Taiwanese startups can do.

A new name and slight change of venue didn't seem to dent the popularity of a technology festival held for the second straight year in Hoboken on Thursday, when thousands of veteran and aspiring tech entrepreneurs, investors and others seeking to profit from the innovation economy gathered on the Hudson River waterfront.

Taiwan Startup Stadium (TSS), a National Development Council backed organization to facilitate Taiwan assessed some of the challenges ahead for Taiwan's FinTech industry at the first Hit FinTech forum hosted by Chinese-language media Knowing, Thursday.

Nearing its second anniversary, TSS is headed by American citizen Holly Harrington.

A favorite in Taiwan’s startup scene, Taiwan Startup Stadium (TSS) recently has undergone a reshuffle of its core team.

Holly hopes that the new members will liven up the venue, as well as signaling to startups that change is nothing to be afraid of. TSS’s main goal has not changed one bit, of course: the venue still aims to assist and coach Taiwanese teams for successful international expansion.
