 Origin and Purpose |
| |
Entrepreneurship is the driving force of economic growth. In the face of global economic slowdown, only through encouraging creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship are ways to invigorate socioeconomic activities and to continue stabilizing the overall national development. In the beginning of 2009, the Small and Medium Enterprise Administration (SMEA) particularly promoted the "Entrepreneurship Navigation Project". Through "The SME Entrepreneurship and Innovation Service Centers", it established regional service channels to expand local service volume. By "Improving the start-up Incubation environment "," Establishing start-up knowledge and information platform ", and "Helping new start-up to obtain funding", these three strategies can better fulfill the business necessities. The project anticipates assisting domestic SMEs and micro enterprises to survive the impact of financial tsunami. It also looks forward to create a qualitative business environment and to boost entrepreneur spirits; ultimately shaping Taiwan to become an entrepreneurship society and inject fresh energy into the economy.
