One AI platform to match you with subsidies, competitions, and career support in Taiwan.
SmartMatch AI analyzes your background and goals, then recommends the best startup competitions, government subsidies, jobs, and funding programs – all in one place.
Why SmartMatch AI?
Foreigners in Taiwan often miss opportunities because the information is scattered in Chinese, on many different websites. SmartMatch AI becomes your single entry point to discover and apply.
AI-curated opportunities
Our system reads competition websites, startup programs, and subsidy rules, then highlights the ones that match your profile.
Foreign-friendly explanations
Complex Chinese documents are summarized into clear English, with key points: who can apply, how, and by when.
Mentor-backed feasibility
The business logic is co-designed with a professor who understands both agriculture and startup competitions in Taiwan.
About the project
SmartMatch AI is a startup consulting platform that uses AI, chatbot flows, and a web interface to help foreigners in Taiwan navigate subsidies, competitions, and startup resources. It is inspired by platforms like Bhuntr and NEXTX, but focuses on international talent.
For foreigners in Taiwan
Many foreign students and workers don’t know which local programs they are eligible for. SmartMatch AI turns that confusion into a guided journey.
Professor-guided direction
This project follows a clear direction: use AI + web + chatbot to create a sustainable consulting business that can later join startup competitions.
Built as a competition-ready MVP
The website, chatbot, and Firebase backend are structured to demonstrate feasibility, scalability, and real monetization potential to judges.
Services & Use Cases
SmartMatch AI can grow into a full consulting platform. At MVP stage, we focus on delivering real value with a lean, testable feature set.
1. Competition & subsidy matching
Users fill basic info (background, language, goals). The system returns a shortlist of competitions, programs, and subsidies they are likely to qualify for.
2. AI-guided proposal coaching
The chatbot can explain what a good business proposal looks like, based on templates from NEXTX, U-Start, or university incubators.
3. Career & income strategy
Many foreigners simply want stable income. SmartMatch AI suggests realistic paths: part-time, startup grants, competitions, and long-term planning.
Contact & Next Steps
In the current stage, the platform is an MVP for discussion with professors, judges, and potential partners. Below is a suggested contact structure for competition documents.
- Demonstrate the website navigation and language switch.
- Show login/register with Firebase as proof of technical execution.
- Open the chatbot and ask it to explain how SmartMatch AI helps foreigners.
- Explain how this system can expand into a paid consulting business.
