The trip was very well organized. From the first presentation at InvesTaiwan through all the impressions at different companies and places in Taiwan until the drop-off at the Taipei Main Station. The organizers took care of any needs of the participants and it was a great opportunity to be part of this trip organized by CTCI Foundation. Even the unplanned situations, could not let the organizers lose their calmness. In the fish restaurant on Thursday night, our table with non-pork eaters had a dish with pork inside. We figured out quickly though and the dish was replaced by some non-pork food. The organizers were very warm-hearted and it was easy to talk to them about anything we wanted to know about Taiwan. I have never had the chance before to talk in such detail about the career paths, opportunities and company cultures present in the Taiwanese environment. The insight was eye-opening and I hope the future participants will also take advantage of this one-time opportunity. Regarding the selected candidates, there was a great mix of different people with different views. International students from all over Taiwan from mostly south-east Asian countries with STEM-background were represented. The group spread very pleasant vibes. A great condition to get to know all this people from different background. For sure, every participant had a unique story to share, which made this trip invaluable. I was quite surprised though, that seven people from NTUST joined the trip. All in all, I am really satisfied with the trip. I am happy about all the people I met and the very interesting time we have spent together. It was a pleasure to be part of such a special event. Thank you so much CTCI Foundation for all the effort!
