Taiwan
as
Asia’s
Web3
Hub

Taiwan
has
long
been
at
the
forefront
of
technology
discussions.
Recently, Nvidia
CEO
Jensen
Huang described
the
vibrant
island
as
one
of
the
most
important
places
in
the
world
for
being
the
center
of
the
AI
and
computing
revolution.
These
technological
advancements
are
bolstered
by
an
open
and
collaborative
policy
for
Web3
builders
and
founders.
In
2023,
stablecoin
issuer
Circle
partnered
with
Taiwan
FamilyMart
and
BitoGroup
to
introduce
a “Points-to-Crypto” service,
democratizing
access
to
cryptocurrencies.

Highlighting
Taiwan’s
position
as
a
Web3
hub,
Stan
Shih,
Co-Founder
of ACER,
a
world-renowned
leader
in
the
ICT
industry,
will
speak
on
digital
art
and
digital
assets
at
ABS2024.
He
will
be
sharing
how
he
envisions
bringing
Taiwan
into
the
future
through
digital
creativity
and
the
arts. ASUS
Metaverse,
a
pioneering
company
collaborating
with
top-tier
global
partners
to
build
transformative
Web
3
ecosystems,
will
have
a
large
area
at
the
ABS2024
exhibition
center
to
showcase
their
latest
Web3
innovations. 

Adding
to
Taiwan’s
technological
momentum,
a
key
highlight
at
ABS2024
will
be
the
announcement
of
the
Blockchain
Roadmap
by Far
Eastern
International
Bank,
one
of
Taiwan’s
leading
financial
institutions.
This
roadmap,
set
to
be
unveiled
on
the
ABS2024
Mainstage
on
August
8,
will
emphasize
Taiwan’s
pivotal
role
in
tech
and
finance
innovations.
Jacklyn
Tsai,
Honorary
Chairwoman
of
Taiwan
FinTech
Association
will
speak
on
developments
in
finance.

“Through
public-private
cooperation,
we
have
made
significant
strides
in
regulation
while
nurturing
top-tier
technical
talent
and
the
crypto
industry,”
said Ju
Chun
Ko,
Legislator
of
Taiwan’s
Legislative
Yuan. “This
represents
our
ability
to
maintain
a
leading
international
role,
not
only
as
a
global
center
for
semiconductors
and
AI
but
also
in
advancing
decentralization
in
the
Web3
era.
Taiwan
is
the
heart
of
Asia’s
blockchain
industry.”
