Why TSM Hong Kong?

Definitely looking forward to experience a unique albeit somewhat similar culture in Hong Kong. In terms of technology, Hong Kong is indeed receiving a lot of attention as one of the hotbeds for innovation and as a result, I suppose that contributed to the proliferation of technological start-ups in Asia.

What kind of business interests you?

1. On-demand start-ups (after all, the sharing economy is definitely here to stay for a long period of time)
2. Artificial Intelligence / Deep Learning Technology-oriented businesses

What drives you?

Without a doubt, "Failure" is what motivates me to push the beyond the boundaries. More than often, we are trapped in a comfortable microcosm and that has really closed-out our mindsets to experiment and to fail. As a result, many of us today are afraid of failure and it this certainty that this failure is what constitutes to the lack of innovation we have in Singapore.
