Yesterday Mobile Geeks attended a debut meetup event from new Taiwan based crowdfunding platform HWTrek. Created in collaboration with TMI Holding Corporation, a Taiwan based incubator that makes early stage investments with local talent trying to tackle global markets, HWTrek seeks to offer hardware entrepreneurs from around the world the chance to realize their ideas as eventual products with collaboration opportunities with key hardware manufacturers in Taiwan. The focus is very much on the Internet of Things and Digital Wearable Device, two areas where Taiwan’s OEM/ODM players are looking for innovative concepts.
The Asia Innovation Tour
The HWTrek Asia Innovation Tour kicked off this week in Taipei, with more than 30 startups and inventors invited to Taiwan to meet up with some of Taiwan’s most important hardware manufacturers with emphasis on pairing manufacturing experts with project leaders. The tour allows hardware creators and global startup organizations a chance to become better acquainted with the ecosystem of manufacturers and suppliers in Asia, specifically Taiwan and China. The tour consisted of two days in the North Taiwan area, followed by an optional three day extension to Beijing.
