What to know before you go
Software and tech in Taipei
Taiwan's tech clusters did not grow by accident; the government planned them. Hsinchu Science Park grew as the hardware and semiconductor hub, while Taipei's Nangang Software Park was set up to build software talent alongside it. Taipei also hosts Computex, a major computer and technology trade show organized by TAITRA, Taiwan's trade promotion body, and the Taipei Computer Association.
This mix matters for interns. Software teams in Taipei often sit close to hardware makers, so some host companies build software for devices as well as websites and apps. The government's Bilingual 2030 policy aims to raise English use in the workforce and attract international firms, which helps in a tech team where code, tickets and documents are often in English. Our internships in Taiwan are in Taipei, and tasks depend on the host company's product.

FAQ
Questions interns ask
Do I need Mandarin for a software internship in Taiwan?
No. Our host companies work in English, and code and documentation are usually in English. Mandarin helps with lunch chats and daily life, but it isn't required.
Will I work on semiconductors or chips?
Some Taiwanese tech firms build software for hardware products, but tasks depend on your host company. We can't promise a placement in the chip industry. Tell your advisor about your skills and what you want to build.
