Louis & Partners Thailand founder Sopon Sirimongkolrat was invited to serve as a judge at the 2026 Taiwan Startup World Cup (TSWC) in Taipei on 26–27 August — the Taiwan round of the global Startup World Cup competition powered by Silicon Valley venture firm Pegasus Tech Ventures. Louis Group CEO Raymond Yu also joined the event as a speaker and presented the awards.
The competition gathered international judges and guests from the United States, Germany, Israel, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam, spanning venture capital, cross-border law, overseas markets, and brand strategy. Fluv Inc. took the championship and will represent Taiwan at the Startup World Cup global finals.
For our Bangkok team, the invitation reflects where the firm stands on the Taiwan–Thailand startup corridor. Taiwanese startups expanding into Southeast Asia and Thai startups seeking Taiwanese technology and supply-chain partners run into the same first hurdles — market entry structures, foreign ownership limits, work permits, and IP protection. Louis Group is on the ground on both sides, with offices in Taipei, Bangkok, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City.
