Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I wish to understand and gain exposure to the current technology that is in use globally. Although I have learnt and utilise a variety of technologies in school, however, I do not have a sufficient understanding of the technology used in the pratical industry, especially outside of Singapore. Also, as I am interested to do a startup so I hope that through TSM, I will be able to gain knowledge from my exposure with the current technopreneurship worldwide.
- Where would you like to visit virtually?
I would like to visit Silicon Valley, the home to dozens of major technology, software, and internet companies. Silicon Valley is a famous place for technology start-ups as well as successful MNCs. I have also heard from one of my professors who had told me that a Harvard student can easily gain million dollars of investments for their start-up just by doing a pitch at Silicon Valley.
