Why TSM Silicon Valley?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
TSM allows me to see how technology company operates beyond the Singapore borders. This will provide me an opportunity to learn from them and bring back to our sunny island. By joining the TSM, I hope to witness for myself on how technology can be applied to various businesses and changed the world. Additionally, I hope to expand my network of friends and industry experts of various domains from around the world.
- Why pick Hong Kong?
Char Siew Bao? Siew Mai? Xiao Long Bao? Just joking. Hong Kong & Shenzhen is home to many of the R&D, start-up scene. Shenzhen has also been dubbed the next Silicon Valley of China. I hope to understand how technology could be rapidly deployed and adopted in a large country. By visiting Hong Kong & Shenzhen, I'll have the chance to learn from large enterprise such as Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba on how they managed to deploy their product and services and get the public to adopt at such a fast rate.
