The fund will target overseas venture capital firms with excellent track records in AI and fintech. Through diversified technological and geographical risks, it aims to achieve risk-adjusted returns while providing domestic investors with opportunities to expand their overseas portfolios and grasp frontier trends.

This fund will focus on overseas venture capital firms with proven track records in artificial intelligence and fintech. By diversifying technological and geographical risks, the fund aims to achieve risk-adjusted returns while offering domestic investors opportunities to expand their global portfolios and gain exposure to cutting-edge trends. China Development Capital sees this fund as a crucial bridge connecting top global venture capital with Taiwan's industrial supply chains.

In parallel, the company is strengthening its "exchange" initiatives. This includes continuing programs like "Investment Reception Room" to connect local startups with international investors. China Development Capital has also established offices in Tokyo and Fukuoka, Japan, and is leveraging Silicon Valley resources to help Taiwanese startups access the Japanese and U.S. markets. A recent survey indicated that 70% of Taiwanese startups are already operating internationally, with Japan as a primary target, and 90% of venture capitalists surveyed are investing overseas, primarily in the U.S.

Taiwanese startups have international-level technology and resilience. The key is whether they can connect with global capital, markets, and talent.

These efforts are part of a broader strategy to integrate Taiwan's fintech industry into the global venture capital ecosystem. By attracting foreign investment and guiding local companies abroad, China Development Capital aims to foster a sustainable cycle of attracting capital, connecting internationally, and investing in innovation, thereby enhancing Taiwan's competitiveness in the global fintech landscape.
