建立我國創業天使網絡之研究

Establishing Business Angel Networks in Taiwan

世界主要國家包括美國、歐盟、韓國等已普遍建立創業天使網絡，協助新創事業取得資金，並幫助投資人或創業投資事業尋找投資機會。台灣已建立技術交易市集並積極辦理創新創業博覽會，以促進新創事業發展，亦具有創業天使網絡之雛形。本研究進一步建議，政府可透過現有創新育成中心與鼓勵創設新事業之機制，加強辦理創業博覽會、創業競賽，建立創業服務中心、創業知識庫，以及透過創業EMBA計畫，培訓種子師資及創業家，增加準備好的投資案數量，促成我國創業天使網絡之建立，以促進國內投資與新興產業發展。

Major economies around the world, such as the United States, the European Union, and Korea, have widely established business angel networks to improve startup businesses’ access to capital and to help investors or venture capital companies find investment opportunities. With its well established technology market and active efforts to organize business startup fairs and promote innovational business development, Taiwan already possesses the embryonic form of a business angel network. This paper suggests that the government in Taiwan step up its efforts to promote business-startup exhibitions, contests, service centers, and knowledge banks through existing innovation incubators and mechanisms for the encouragement of startups, and also nurture seed instructors and startup entrepreneurs through business-startup EMBA programs. Such steps will help increase the number of well-prepared investment cases and promote the establishment of business angel networks in Taiwan, thereby giving a boost to domestic investment and the development of emerging industries in Taiwan.
