Premier Chang San-cheng today visited Townway Ltd. Co. in Zhushan Township of Nantou County and said he expects other townships to copy Zhushan's successful model and further energize the nation's economy by achieving the policy vision of "One Town One Product."
Taiwan's many townships all have their own characteristics, and Zhushan is famous for bamboos, the premier pointed out. After talking with young entrepreneurs who have in recent years returned to their hometown to start up businesses, the premier commended their efforts in integrating traditional bamboo crafts with modern technology and innovation, thus increasing added value for everyday-use bamboo products.
The premier made this visit to understand in depth the national innovation and startup environments as well as the development of social enterprises. The Executive Yuan has been proactively integrating various ministries' resources to help industry create an exemplary startup environment, the Ministry of Economic Affairs stated. To further this effort, the administration will link up with relevant innovation and startup centers to give young entrepreneurs more room for development.
