In March 2026, the Second Biomedical Entrepreneurship Bootcamp, hosted by the High-Value Biomedical Materials Research and Commercialization Center at National Taipei University of Technology, concluded successfully

Now in its second year, the bootcamp was carried out smoothly and achieved new milestones in terms of speaker lineup, program content, and interdisciplinary exchange. Experts, scholars, and startup teams from both Taiwan and abroad gathered to share insights through keynote lectures, in-depth panel discussions, and hands-on workshops, sparking meaningful innovation and successfully creating an international platform that bridges academia and industry.
