To help the teams gain a deep understanding of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Thailand and Southeast Asia, StartUP@Taipei has specially designed a series of visiting activities. These include visits to Thailand's largest e-commerce platform Lazada, the international law firm PD Legal, True Digital Park, one of Thailand's three major telecommunications giants, LINE Thailand, and the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA). These activities are geared towards preparing a solid foundation for expanding into new markets in Southeast Asia. Additionally, StartUP@Taipei is also leveraging Taipei Entrepreneurs Hub (TEH), a talent exchange brand under the Taipei City Government's Department of Economic Development, to promote the city government's entrepreneurial resources through exchange events.

On the first day of the exhibition, these ten startups attracted many overseas startup companies, investors, and incubator units. Notable visitors included GreenRocket, a Thai incubator, True Incube, and SusHi Tech Tokyo from Japan. They expressed interest in assisting startups to establish a presence in Taipei. Some of them even visited the SusHi Tech Tokyo booth and exchanged ideas with Taipei City's Department of Economic Development representatives on the same day.

Furthermore, on the first day of the exhibition, StartUP@Taipei, along with the ten teams, participated in the Tech Showcase stage for Startup Pitching. This not only introduced the StartUP@Taipei brand to the audience but also provided information about the participating teams. Worth mentioning, through the exposure on this stage, Mechavision, one of the ten startup companies, had the opportunity to connect with Continental via the exhibition app. They are currently discussing potential cooperation, looking forward to future developments.
