About STTC
A community-led platform for technology in Southern Taiwan.
Southern Taiwan Technology Council (STTC) brings people across the region’s technology ecosystem together to exchange ideas, form useful connections, and make the South’s work more visible.
Why STTC exists
Strong technology deserves a strong public community.
Southern Taiwan already has deep industrial capability, research talent, ambitious entrepreneurs, and globally important technology infrastructure. STTC strengthens the relationships between those parts of the ecosystem through accessible gatherings and a shared public platform.
Our geographic focus includes Tainan, Kaohsiung, and the wider Southern Taiwan region. STTC is independent and community-led: it is not a government body and is not affiliated with Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council or any science park administration.
What we do
Create useful ways for the ecosystem to meet.
STTC organises in-person events, webinars, panels, and cross-sector discussions for professionals, researchers, students, entrepreneurs, and organisations.
Connections across disciplines.
Programming is designed to help people enter the regional network, learn from one another, and find collaborators beyond their usual professional circles.
Community leadership
Founded to build the connective layer.
STTC was founded by Karan Kapur and Sophie-Marie Chladek as a community-led platform for Southern Taiwan’s technology ecosystem.
