Why Virtual TSM?
What motivates you to join TSM?
I am extremely interested in how technology ties in with entrepreneurship, especially with the possibility of solving real-world problems. With hopes to create a startup of my own, preferably in the area of healthcare, this opportunity to learn from my peers, the network of startup founders, and people from large tech firms through TSM Silicon Valley would prove to be immensely beneficial.
Where would you like to visit virtually?
Silicon Valley followed by South Korea!
Starting a business
What types of business interest you?
I would be interested in e-commerce, health tech, and IoT. By combining these few areas, I hope to be able to make health tech more accessible and attainable by those that need it the most, such as the elderly.
What plan do you have in starting a business?
While I do not have any current plans to go ahead with a startup, I do hope to explore the possibility of health tech for the elderly, especially with the growing elderly population in many Asian countries. In order to do so, I hope to be able to better understand the market, the opportunities, and what it takes to go ahead with a business.
