BizTech Founder and Contact Information

Founder’s Welcome

The Asia Biztech in Taiwan program began as an inkling of an idea in 2018 and blossomed into this wonderful program. It has been a great pleasure to be a part of it and to help it evolve. For this, I thank  our partners—ITRI, TUSA (especially Steve CH Lin and our tireless supporters Joyce Siow, Holly Chen, and Nichole Liu),  Taiwan Thinktank, Minister Lin, Andrea Yang, Nexcom (Chairman Clemen Lin, Kai Wang, and Jenny Shern), Megaforce (and especially Doris Graff who has been with us since the very beginning!), Sharecourse, our kind hosts at MOFA and AIT, Doreen He, the many others who hosted us for meetings and exchange, and most especially our gracious hosts Providence University (Many thanks to Kelly Chen, Vivian and BIBA, and especially the amazing Mark Lan). Mostly, though, I would like to thank our eleven intrepid, bright, and nice students and their buddies from Providence and elsewhere who form the backbone of this experience. We all welcome you to participate in future programs!

Best, Jack Marr
