'''* Why Technopreneurship?'''<br>
 
 
'''*What motivates you to join TSM?''' <br>
 
I feel that going for a TSM will enhance my learning experience in university as you get to see how the different companies work. It is not just about classroom learning but learning from the actual business world. Also, I think learning from start up companies is particularly insightful because to be successful, they need to be innovative and differentiate themselves from other companies. There is a lot to learn from start up companies and I hope that I will be given the chance to learn from them.

South Korea is one of the important technology hubs in the world with huge names like Samsung and LG. I believe that there is a lot to learn from the companies in South Korea. The Korean culture is also very interesting and rich with the chaebols companies, so it’s quite interesting to find out more about these companies as well.
