TAIPEI CITY, TAIWAN, May 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Taiwan is globally renowned worldwide for its leadership in semiconductors and tech innovation. The Mobileheroes Competition, now in its 24th year, has long been a cornerstone of Taiwan’s technological advancement. Returning for its sixth edition, Mobileheroes Global 2025 invites startups from around the world to compete with innovative services or products themed around 5G, AI, and Large LLMs.

The competition is strongly backed by Taiwan’s government and major corporations, who not only provide generous prize funding but also serve as judges — eager to connect with international startups and explore potential collaboration.

Taiwan’s top telecom providers — Chunghwa Telecom, Far EasTone Telecom, and Taiwan Mobile — are not only pivotal in helping startups bring their services and technologies to enterprise clients but are also extending their 5G success stories across Asia. HwaCom Systems, a leading system integrator in Taiwan, has long partnered with startups to help them break into enterprise markets. Just look at the 2024 winning teams — many have already launched collaborations with major corporations, gained invaluable marketing exposure, and drawn media and industry attention that significantly boosted their brand and product visibility.

Another key highlight of the competition is its generous prize pool. This year, the champion of Mobileheroes Global will receive USD 30,000, while the second and third place winners will take home USD 20,000 and USD 10,000 respectively.

During the competition, each team will be evaluated by a mentor panel made up of top-level executives from major enterprises, venture capitalists, and international accelerator representatives. These mentors will attend pitch meetings, offering honest and critical feedback on business models to help teams refine their strategies, identify untapped markets, and gain access to key growth resources.

In addition, the organizers will sponsor travel and accommodation for one member of each Top 10 team to attend the finals and awards ceremony in Taiwan. Finalist teams will also gain exclusive access to company visits and the 5G Summit, enabling direct interaction with leading Taiwanese ICT companies. For startups in 5G and AI, this is an exceptional opportunity to explore Taiwan’s unparalleled strengths, such as high-efficiency hardware manufacturing, cutting-edge AI server infrastructure, and competitive integrated hardware-software solution. These are the very reasons why many startups choose to compete in Mobileheroes.
