WELCOME MESSAGE
Dear Distinguished Guests,
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) account for around 90 percent of businesses in the APEC
region and employ as much as 60 percent of the work force. The innovation by
entrepreneurs is extremely important to drive the growth of new industries and to break
through the crisis when the global economy is currently facing great uncertainties. It has long
been a key APEC agenda to promote entrepreneurships, remove trade barriers and enhance
SMEs global competitiveness to achieve sustainable growth.
Built on the efforts to assist start-ups and entrepreneurs in the APEC region, the APEC Start-up
Accelerator Initiative (ASA) has been raised by the SMEWG since 2012 and is designed to
provide entrepreneurs and start-ups with better access to mentorships and funding through
events and communities. By hosting the ASA Leadership Summit 2013, we genuinely seek to
connect entrepreneurs with the innovation needs of the enterprises, build international
business relationships, and facilitate fundraising activities. The corresponding event, the Intel
APEC Challenge, sponsored by APEC and Intel Cooperation certainly brings a sense of excitement
along with tenseness. It is a golden opportunity for entrepreneurs as well as the public and
private sectors to exchange experience and conduct effective communication for mutual
benefits.
We believe that you will find the 2-day event constructive and fruitful. If you need any assistance
at any time during your stay in Taipei, all of our staffs will be pleased to assist you.
Sincerely yours,
Dear Distinguished Guests,
As a global technology leader, Intel knows that innovation and entrepreneurship are absolutely
essential to build and sustain economic development. In fact, innovation is the lifeblood of our
company, which is why we take great pleasure in welcoming all the guests, innovators, and
entrepreneurs to the APEC Start up Accelerator Leadership Summit and Intel APEC Challenge here
in Taipei, Taiwan.
We believe this event is particularly important because the Member Economies of the Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation account for approximately 40% of the world's population, approximately
54% of the world's gross domestic product, and about 44% of world trade. In addition, it is known
that Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s) are important drivers of economic growth around the
world, and they can make major contributions to global economic development and recovery,
especially in the areas of job creation, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Intel Corporation, in partnership with governments, academia, non-profit organizations,
entrepreneurs, business leaders, and private enterprise, works to meet the challenge of harnessing
the power of entrepreneurship to promote economic development around the world. Our
collaboration with APEC Start-up Accelerator (ASA) is one example of our work to support and
enhance the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the APEC region.
Intel’s innovations over the last four decades have impacted lives, business and societies around
the world. Our ongoing commitment to education, the environment, and health care are deeply
rooted in the belief that empowering people, and enabling innovation and entrepreneurship, are
crucial ingredients to worldwide socio-economic transformation.
We believe this two day event will provide many opportunities for you to learn valuable
information, to engage and mentor others, to share and acquire knowledge, and to showcase
ideas and innovations. We look forward to this collaboration which is sure to make this a
wonderful and fruitful experience for all of the distinguished guests, particularly the young
entrepreneurs.

About APEC Start-Up Accelerator Leadership Summit
In alignment with APEC 2013 theme “Resilient Asia-Pacific: Engine of Global Growth” to
achieve sustainable growth with equity by encouraging member economies to pay attention
to next generation trade and investment issues, promoting SMEs development, and improving
access to global markets, the APEC Startup Accelerator Initiative serves as a platform for
member economies to assist startups and young entrepreneurs in building their capacities
through networking, mentoring, and funding. The ASA Leadership Summit will allow SMEs and
startups to identify possible opportunities and to raise capital while enhancing their capacities

The leadership summit takes form in a symposium style, which includes plenary sessions and
numerous panel discussion sessions. The esteemed speakers, startup founders, business
executives and policymakers from APEC economies will discuss how industries in transition can
grow and prosper from a broad perspective, including policy, finance, law, innovation and
business strategy.

government, while enhancing the potential for regional commerce and economic growth.

fund start-ups that are related to their own strategic interests and to booster innovation
in APEC economies.

and encourage trade among participation APEC economies.

UR-code: A new solution to replace QR-code
UR-code provides an innovative and convenient way for people to search for information using camera
phones without QR-code. Users can look up product information, including specifications, prices and reviews,
simply by ‘scanning’ the items they are interested in. Smartphone changes the way consumers shop. It is
used everywhere, including home, transportation and retail stores. 69% users have used Smartphone in a
store to compare prices and search for reviews, key factors that influence their final purchase decision. That
is why we proposed a fast interactive way for users to check products which they are interested in. After 3
years research and development, we successfully build this mobile visual searching engine for any business
enterprise. They could adopt our solution to provide this kind of mobile service for their customers. We think
mobile commerce will change consumer behavior dramatically. Now we have some successful cases in
Taiwan and hope we could export this innovative solution to overseas market.

Roam & Wander is an entertainment brand reimagining the way software, devices and toys come
together to create new entertainment and learning experiences for kids ages 2 to 6. As so many aspects
of our life become more digital, we all want our kids to stay engaged with the physical world. It's time that
apps and toys came together, and our goal is to establish Roam & Wander as the brand parents think of
first as the leader in games and app-enabled toys for young kids. Our first game, Sticker Games, rewards
kids for their achievements with *real stickers*, and reached and has remained in the top of the App
Store, and our first toy was successfully funded on Kickstarter.
