Innovation Board Forum Held: The Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) and Deloitte co-hosted an 'Innovation Board' forum on October 7, bringing together 18 companies from sectors including semiconductors, cloud computing, and biotechnology. The event aimed to guide emerging firms through the process of entering the capital market and provide practical insights for future growth.
Building an Asian Nasdaq: TWSE Chairman Lin Shyh-ming stated that the Innovation Board serves as a parallel main board, with 31 companies already listed.

He highlighted the importance of managing intellectual property, data rights, and trade secrets in the AI era to maintain long-term competitive advantages.
Market Recognition and Support: Innovation Board companies are gaining market traction, with some now included in major indices and as underlying assets for warrants. The TWSE continues to enhance liquidity and transparency through international platforms and market-making incentives to support the long-term success of these high-growth firms.
