To promote innovation and entrepreneurship on campus, National Taichung University of Science and Technology (NTCUST) is partnering with LINE PROTOSTAR (New Star Program) to organize the 2026 LINE x AI Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition.
By combining cutting-edge generative AI technologies with the extensive resources of the LINE ecosystem, the competition aims to encourage university and college students to form interdisciplinary teams and develop innovative conversational services with strong business potential.
To help participating teams quickly grasp the key elements of their proposals and explore relevant technologies, a pre-competition online/in-person workshop will be held before the preliminary submission deadline. The workshop will cover topics including business models within the LINE ecosystem, AI-assisted development techniques, and user experience (UX) design. The workshop is designed to help students from diverse academic backgrounds develop competitive minimum viable products (MVPs) and business proposals within a short period of time.
