The prestigious Awards convened a grand ceremony with over 500 guests to commemorate the outstanding entrepreneurship which Taiwan has to offer. Selected from over 200 nominees, the award recipients underwent a rigorous evaluation process by a jury of prominent judges across four categories: Master Entrepreneur, Inspirational Brand, Fast Enterprise, and Corporate Excellence.

Dr. Fong Chan Onn, Chairman of Enterprise Asia stated, "As advocates of entrepreneurship, we believe that entrepreneurship does not only provide a compelling alternative to individuals to secure their livelihood, but also serve as an important catalyst to promote economic resilience. We want to leverage this program to recognize and honor the dedicated work done by these entrepreneurs who helped to spur economic development in Taiwan."

"With a growth forecast of 3.3% by the International Monetary Fund for 2023, Taiwan is on a steady path to recovery. The country's formidable ICT and semiconductor manufacturing industry places Taiwan in a prime position to leverage its prowess in these fields to spearhead an economic resurgence. Let us all not forget that apart from semiconductor, Taiwan also has its competitive advantages in other industries such as biotechnology, financial technology, and among others. This shows that Taiwan is an innovation powerhouse that displays tremendous potential to become among the most advanced and resilient economies in the world."
