Why TSM Hong Kong?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
- Wanting to have the opportunity to know how technology is being put in place in the real world and also able to network with people from overseas. Moreover, it is a rare opportunity to have classes overseas, instead of just attending classes and going thru slides and tutorials.
- Why pick Hong Kong?
- With the rising number of startups over the past few years, Hong Kong has built an ecosystem for startups till they are ranked top 5 of ease-of-doing business index. With that, it would be an eye-opening experience for me to visit Hong Kong to know how some of the startups managed. Futhermore, Hong Kong has been expanding in the technology sector over the pass few years, it would be a good experience to see how some of their technology has benefited consumers.
- Ideal role in the trip:

Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
- IoT, Mobile development, Analytics, AI, Machine Learning
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
- Although I do not have any experience in starting a business, I would hope that through internships and networking, it would provide me with the needed experience of technical and managerial aspects. However, a business that I envisioned would be something related to do with a digital solution that is within the type of business interest as stated previously.
