Free GPU access offered to AI startups in Taiwan
NT$10 billion will be invested in firms with global potential.
Taiwan’s new Digital Minister Lin Yi-ching has unveiled his policy agenda, putting AI development, cybersecurity and anti-fraud at the forefront.
He pledged to build on the work of his predecessor while accelerating digital government projects.
Lin said the government will support the AI industry through five key tools: computing power, data, talent, marketing and funding.
Taiwan startups will gain free GPU access, revised regulations will release non-sensitive public data, and a sovereign AI corpus will be developed.
Cybersecurity and fraud prevention are also central. Measures include DNS blocking, government SMS codes, and partnerships with platforms like Google and Line to curb scams. Lin reaffirmed the government’s commitment to the digital certificate wallet.
