為了增進台灣生技醫療新創的發展，2018年初，由經濟部中小企業處指導，財團法人生物技術開發中心（簡稱生技中心）主辦，推出「數位健康國際加速器計畫」，旨在連結新創、投資人、企業家導師及商業資源，加速台灣團隊走向世界舞台。
2018年，團隊經過兩次的篩選，優選出表現最佳的前十五名，投注資源，協助新創業者優化營運、媒合策略夥伴，以及為募資做準備。
加速過程中，最亮眼的莫過於參與全球最大的非營利創業加速器及創業競賽機構MassChallenge舉辦的訓練營及鏈結全球生醫重鎮－波士頓的人脈資源。
邁向國際加速器的第二年，將協助參加團隊更聚焦於國際資源的鏈結，除了持續與MassChallenge維持良好的夥伴關係，並開啟與美國波士頓多家單位雙向交流，亦規劃前往東南亞國家，串聯亞太地區重要廠商。
立足台灣、放眼世界，生技中心數位健康國際加速器為在台灣有實力的新創公司，開拓隱形冠軍之路！
Early in the beginning of 2018, Development Center for Biotechnology (DCB) initiated the Taiwan Phoenix Project which is Taiwan’s first Digital Health Accelerator with the aim to accelerate development in biomedical related fields, and to capitalize on the emerging global trend of digital health. Collectively, we received more than 60 startup applications and 30 of them were selected. Since joining our accelerator, DCB has leveraged interdisciplinary resources to help the startups make their ideas solid, sharpen their skills, find strategic partners and show up for fundraising. Finally, the top 15 demonstrated their innovative ideas which can possibly empower Taiwan’s biomedical and healthcare industry .They pitched their business to the local and international venture capitalists for ultimately testing their business plans.
Most importantly, DCB was cheered to invite MassChallenge (MC) to join our whole year program. MC is well-known as the most startup friendly accelerator of the world and famous for solving massive challenges by connecting global startups and enterprises.
