Pagoda Projects are proud to be delivering an entrepreneurship-oriented 2-week study tour, in cosmopolitan Taipei focusing on the Tech and Start-up scene. Our partners may opt to offer our scheduled, open tours to their students with no minimum numbers, or discuss the delivery of this study tour exclusively for your students with complete flexibility on dates, duration, activities and theme (subject to capacity and availability).

Our programme consists of a guided group project, focusing on the tech and start-up scene in Taipei. It features a range of activities geared to those looking for an entry-level insight to doing business in Asia. Students will develop their entrepreneurial capabilities through a series of guided events, workshops and visits. The programme culminates with students presenting their start-up pitch to an expert panel for assessment.

Please note for our scheduled tours places are limited and applicants will be accepted on a first come, first served basis

[/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”Flexible:” color=”orange”]We know that our partners have different goals and requirements for their international mobility. We are flexible to be able to work with International Offices, Academic Staff and other stakeholders to make sure the programme meets your objectives. This means we can ensure you’re getting the information you need for the assignment of credit, or for bespoke programmes we can adjust key elements such as the duration, content and deliverables of the programme[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Engaged:” color=”orange”]We know that even with funding, it’s not always easy to get your students to take advantage of the opportunities on offer, especially when travel is involved at some personal cost. This is why we will support you in every way we can to ensure that students are aware of the opportunities we are providing and manage their expectations. This includes paid marketing, design of promotional materials such as e-flyers and programme videos, online info-sessions about the programme and one-to-one consultation[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Supportive:” color=”orange”]Where budgets are limited, we are happy to cooperate with you to submit applications for various government-funding opportunities, including Generation UK, Prime Ministers Scholarship for Asia and the New Colombo Plan where eligible. This can be done on a speculative basis, i.e. if the funding application is unsuccessful, there is no obligation to run the programme or pay any fees to Pagoda Projects. Discounts and/or benefits in kind are possible when there is a view to commit a greater number of students to our programme or where funding is established. This helps us better manage our capacity and aligns with our approach of seeking to assist students with financial support wherever available[/vc_toggle][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Participants will receive a thorough exposure to companies operating in a global context. This will be done via presentations, panel sessions, tours in the facilities of established start-ups. Considerations of entrepreneurship in a foreign context, along with national challenges will be addressed by presenters.

SKILLS DEVELOPMENT: Participants will be encouraged to actively develop key research, communication and presentation skills. This will be supported via hands-on activities. Objectives and a program pack will be provided during the orientation day, for which students will also be put into groups and instructed of our expectation to present back to our team and a panel of industry leaders at the end of the program for assessment.

CULTURAL AWARENESS: Participants will gain fundamental understanding of Asian and Taiwanese Culture whilst also being given a plethora of opportunities to bond with others taking part in the program. Activities will focus specifically on the necessity of being culturally aware, along with articulating some key considerations when doing business in Taiwan and Asia in general.

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND NETWORK BUILDING: Participants will broaden their professional networks via the interactions with staff during company visits and seminar/panel sessions and liaising with senior level staff in prestigious organizations. They will be taught how to network, given opportunities to do so whilst making a good overall impression as an ambassador for their country and university

LANGUAGE STUDY: Participants will receive 18 hours of group mandarin Chinese language classes focusing on functional Chinese that will be useful in everyday life during the program. It is hoped that with the foundations and tools provided within this program, independent language study will continue upon students returning to their home countries.
