Katie Hsieh, the Chair of the Taiwan Tech Summit, said that the "Next Vision" event aimed to create more opportunities for networking and connections through innovative trend forums, Taiwan Demo Day, professional networking events, career workshops, and various themed areas to promote the growth and development of Taiwanese individuals in the USA market. David Weng, CEO of Taiwania Capital and the chair of the advisory board, said that in the face of global supply chain restructuring and the AI wave, he hopes to create opportunities for cooperation between Silicon Valley professionals and experts through the Taiwan Tech Summit. This will strengthen the connection between Taiwan and Silicon Valley, helping Taiwan to become a "Silicon Valley of Asia."
