Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
Being an IS Major, I am interested in learning more about the IT ecosystem present in different industries and how technology plays a role in various aspects of startups and firms. Having learnt about a wide spectrum of technologies and tools available at our disposal and the business value that derives from them, I'd like to see firsthand how it is being implemented and used in firms across the industries.
With the advent of emerging developments in technologies such as AI and VR, I am particular interested in how these developments will disrupt industries and what new use cases will companies identify that can solve the customer needs. With this opportunity to explore Tokyo, I wish to experience a culture and environment different from the one we are used to here in Singapore, and observe how these differences influence the direction and decisions that businesses and startups have.
- Where would you like to visit?
Tokyo: Square Enix, Bandai Namco, Sony, Cognitee, Geniee
