Taiwan has been a popular global tech hub since it has large semiconductor companies like TSMC (leading semiconductor industry) and Nvidia’s recent surge in price put its founder Jensen Huang in the spotlight since he hails from Taiwan.
Because Taiwan is the leader in the semiconductor industry, there are more tech professionals and IT consultants in the country, as opposed to HK being a financial hub. There are also many developer communities and hackathons in Taiwan (Taipei Ethereum Meetup) and the largest ecosystem in Taiwan is @SuiNetwork.
Like China and Hong Kong, mandarin is mainly used in Taiwan, while Line is also the primary messaging app used by a large majority of Taiwanese people for both personal and business comms.
For marketing, it’s worthwhile to use bite-sized educational content and gamified campaigns (e.g., airdrops) to engage Taiwanese audiences. Do also make use of local apps like Dcard and PPT for forum discussions as well.
The Taipei Blockchain Week is annually held in December by the @buzhidao_tw which attracts mainly Asian audiences and some industry leaders as well (@VitalikButerin once spoke at this conference).
