Taiwanese Businesses Achieves Growth Through Digitalization

TAIPEI, Jan. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- When the global health crisis struck, the Taiwanese government made swift and decisive actions to curb and contain the situation and this has led to the Taiwanese economy to remain stable. SMEs have reported that even with the movement restrictions, they are able to sustain as they have adopted some elements of digital technology within their business.

This year, among the 183 companies nominated, 15 were selected as winners. They have shown that forward-thinking, adaptability, and resilience are key factors in sustain and even achieve growth during the pandemic. These Taiwanese SMEs successfully adapted and evolved their business model and strategies to meet the demands of the surging new market.

Datuk William Ng, organising chairman of the Golden Bull Award, said, "The common traits of these successful SMEs, who thrived despite the pandemic, are that they have a strong business foundation and were quick to adapt to the adverse situation."

This year marks the second year in Taiwan for the Golden Bull Awards. A total of 3 different categories were open for competition, including Emerging SMEs, Outstanding SMEs, and the coveted Super Golden Bull Award, categorized respectively according to annual turnover.
