About
Taipei City’s 2025 guidebook describes Nangang Software Park, Neihu Technology Park, and Beitou-Shilin Technology Park as a connected corridor focused on research and development. The same guidebook reports more than 13,000 information and communications technology companies and more than 170,000 professionals in Taipei. [25579, 25580]
Two sources report different Taipei startup counts: the 2025 city guidebook attributes nearly 42% of Taiwan’s 2010–2025 startup cohort to Taipei, while FINDIT reports 4,253 startups in its Taipei database snapshot dated October 31, 2025, representing 42.4% of Taiwan’s total. The inspected sources do not explain the difference between the counts. [25576, 25577, 25578]
Taipei City’s 2025 guidebook lists a subsidy for companies registered in Taipei City within one year, with a maximum of NT$1 million per application.
