More than 10 years ago, the impetus provided to Silicon Valley by venture capitalists had already been noted in discussions between national policy advisor Li Kuo-ting and domestic and overseas technology experts. They therefore went about trying to import the idea of venture capitalism into Taiwan, even creating the "Venture Capital Management Regulations" to encourage investment in new areas of high technology.
早在十多年前，「科技教父」李國鼎資政和國內外科技專家磋商時，就注意到矽谷背後這隻「推動搖籃的手」，於是積極引進創業投資觀念，還特別制訂「創投事業管理規則」，鼓勵業界把錢投資在高科技的初創事業上。
