Southern Taiwan Technology Council
Southern Taiwan Technology Council (STTC) is an independent community platform connecting professionals, researchers, students, entrepreneurs, and organisations across Southern Taiwan’s technology ecosystem.
Why This Matters
The South builds big. It just needs a better way to connect.
In the north, communities form naturally through recurring events, founder circles, and networking platforms. In Southern Taiwan, that connective layer is still thin, even though the talent, research, and industrial depth are already here.
STTC exists to help close that gap: making it easier for students, entrepreneurs, professionals, researchers, and organisations in the South to find one another, exchange ideas, and build momentum together.
STTC is an independent, community-led organisation. It is not a government body and is not affiliated with Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council or any science park administration.
About the Southern Taiwan Technology Council
Purpose
One platform for Southern Taiwan’s mission and vision to move together.
Make the South visible.
We create the public-facing layer for tech in the South, making innovation more visible, connected, and cross-disciplinary across semiconductor, AI, sustainability, and the wider regional ecosystem.
Rooted in the South
Built around the places where Southern Taiwan innovates.
The science parks and industrial corridors of the South are already powering global technology. What is missing is a stronger public-facing community around them.
STTC helps turn that physical ecosystem into a social one, connecting the people building inside it.
