How Softment, a Korean Retail Order & Payment Startup, Found Its Strategic Base in Taiwan 🇰🇷→🇹🇼
In collaboration with SparkLabs 스파크랩 and Jeju Center for Creative Economy & Innovation (Jeju CCEI), we hosted Softment in Taiwan for a cross-border PoC and market-entry program.
Softment builds TABLERO, a QR-based ordering and payment system used by major retail and F&B platforms in Korea. Their goal: explore expansion in Taiwan.
Across multiple meetings with Taiwan’s top F&B and retail giants, Softment shared their biggest insight:
“SparkLabs Taiwan is a true bridge builder — every meeting had clear next steps.”
