Legend Innovation Industrial Accelerator

Our company has established the “Legend Innovation Industrial Accelerator" in conjunction with the “ Big Picture Start-up Investment (Limited Partnership)" to deeply engage in the early-stage technology startup market in the Chinese-speaking world. We focus on cutting-edge technology scouting and industry-targeted incubation. Additionally, we integrate local resources in Kaohsiung to operate a nearly 9,900 square meters technology innovation and entrepreneurship park (KO-IN and DAKUO). The park recruits from idea to startup potential startups and from startup to global mature enterprises for co-creation opportunities. Currently, we provide intensive mentorship to over 30 technology innovation companies annually, supporting their organic growth through comprehensive business validation, industry demand matching, and capital acceleration.
