BookAI Selected for Garage+ Startup Global Program S26

We're in. And this is just the beginning.

BookAI has officially been selected for Garage+ Startup Global Program S26 — one of Taiwan's most prestigious startup acceleration programs.

This cohort received over 330 applications from 51 countries. Only 30 startups made the cut — 14 from Taiwan, 16 from international markets including the US, Japan, South Korea, Israel, and Estonia, spanning AI, semiconductors, clean energy, robotics, and cybersecurity. Being selected among this field is a validation of what we've been building — and a signal that the world is ready for what we're bringing to market.

What Is Garage+, and Why Does This Matter?

You may not have heard of Garage+. But you've almost certainly heard of who stands behind it.

Garage+ was founded in 2012 by Taiwan's Epoch Foundation, and has grown into one of Asia's most influential deep tech accelerators. What makes it unusual: it takes zero equity, yet draws real, substantive backing from more than 30 of Taiwan's most powerful companies, including:

TSMC, Delta Electronics, Quanta Computer, Wistron, Fubon Financial, Cathay Financial, and Shin Kong Group

These aren't passive sponsors. They're active members of the Garage+ ecosystem — providing portfolio startups with industry access, procurement opportunities, and market connections that money alone can't buy.

Garage+ is also MIT's first overseas incubation partner, connecting selected teams directly to world-class academic and industry networks.

Since its founding, Garage+ has mentored over 400 startups, helped build household-name companies like 鮮乳坊 (Freshness Dairy) and 陽光伏特家 (Sunnyfounder), and regularly brings Taiwan's best startups onto stages like NVIDIA GTC.

Getting selected means your technology and business model have passed one of the most rigorous industry vetting processes in Taiwan.

What BookAI Does

We believe one thing deeply: great knowledge shouldn't be trapped by language barriers.

BookAI builds AI-powered infrastructure for content rights — using our proprietary Sovereign Knowledge Map technology to transform static rights catalogs into active, globally discoverable, and transactable assets. Publishers and rights holders no longer need to wait for buyers to find them. Their content speaks every language, works 24/7, and surfaces to the right global buyers at the right moment.

We're already live in markets across Taiwan, Japan, India, the Arab region, Sweden, and Croatia, serving publishers, rights agencies, and enterprise knowledge management teams.
