Why Virtual TSM?

• What motivates you to join TSM?

As someone who has previously started a small business selling custom-made keychains, I am interested in exploring the world of technopreneurship and expanding my knowledge of how technology can be used to innovate and create new businesses. I am particularly excited about the potential of cybersecurity technopreneurship, as it is a rapidly growing field that can have a significant impact on society. By taking the IS404 Technopreneurship course at SMU, I hope to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to pursue my passion for entrepreneurship in the cybersecurity industry.

• Where would you like to visit?

I would be interested in visiting cybersecurity companies and startups in Tokyo, such as CrowdStrike, CyberAgent, or TrendMicro. I believe that these companies would provide valuable insights into the cybersecurity industry, particularly in the Asian market. Additionally, I would also like to visit Softbank and explore their investment strategies and how they support technopreneurs in the cybersecurity industry.
