International experience
Seeing how business works around the world
TechStart activity has included links with Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Hainan, and visits to major industry events including CES, NRF, Mobile World Congress and Computex.
Overseas participation depends on the particular opportunity, funding, suitability and permissions. It is not something every participant takes part in.
