2026

ATH Ventures is an accelerator focused on connecting Taiwanese start-ups with overseas expansion opportunities. In 2026, ATH Ventures joined the TTA Industry Accelerator Programme under the National Science and Technology Council. Richten Energy was selected as one of its key acceleration targets.

Its portfolio company, Join It Sustainable Tech Co., Ltd., has advanced to the Top 15 of the InnoVEX 2026 Pitch Contest. Following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the State of Kansas, Richten Energy is continuing its international expansion through the Asia Innovation Hub (AIH), the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center programme in New York, and VivaTech in Paris, bringing Taiwan's coloured photovoltaic façade technology to global capital markets and the growing net-zero building sector.

Join It Sustainable Tech was also selected as one of the Top 15 finalists in the InnoVEX 2026 Pitch Contest, standing out among start-ups from around the world and representing Taiwan's net-zero building and coloured photovoltaic technologies on the international investment stage. The company noted that the real value of coloured photovoltaics extends beyond electricity generation. By transforming solar panels from engineering equipment into architectural building materials, the technology addresses key market challenges, including architectural aesthetics, glare reduction, limited installation space and the growing demand for corporate carbon reduction and ESG disclosure.

Asian innovation companies once again took centre stage in the global capital markets. The 2026 Spring Asia Milestone Makers Programme, jointly organised by the Asia Innovation Hub (AIH) and the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, concluded with a graduation ceremony held on 10 June (U.S. time) at Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square, New York. The event brought together entrepreneurs and business leaders from Taiwan and across Asia. Among the participating companies was Richten Energy Co., Ltd., where Mr. Weili showcased the company's coloured photovoltaic façade technology and its innovative solutions for the net-zero building sector, marking another important step in the company's expansion into the U.S. market.

From signing a cooperation agreement with Kansas Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland on 29 May, to participating in exchanges at Nasdaq in New York, and now being selected to exhibit at VivaTech in Paris, Richten Energy continues to expand its presence in the global net-zero building market through its coloured photovoltaic façade technology. The company is also set to compete in the Economic Daily News Entrepreneurship Competition Grand Final on 24 June.

As global net-zero policies, carbon pricing mechanisms and building energy regulations continue to converge, building façades are evolving from passive construction materials into urban energy assets capable of generating renewable electricity, reducing carbon emissions, supporting ESG disclosure and creating long-term operational value.
