Business Insider Taiwan was launched to extend the Company's established Business Insider Japan franchise into Chinese-speaking markets, applying the audience and operational know-how built in Japan to a new language market. The brand's early trajectory reflects the Company's broader strategy of pairing globally recognized media brands with local editorial expertise and AI-enabled workflows to build scalable audience and content growth across markets.

Business Insider Taiwan's YouTube channel, launched in July 2025, has surpassed 50,000 subscribers and one million views less than a year after launch. The media brand's website, launched in September 2025, has continued to grow month over month and is on track to surpass 500,000 monthly visits for the first time in June 2026, nearly doubling from the previous month and marking a new record for the brand.

The audience is increasingly international. Approximately 40% of total views now come from outside Taiwan, and nearly one-third of total viewing hours are generated by international audiences in Hong Kong, North America, Southeast Asia, and other Chinese-speaking markets — evidence that a locally produced edition can serve a global Chinese-speaking readership.

From an operational perspective, the growth has been supported by AI-assisted localization workflows integrated with human editorial review. Combining technology with editorial judgment has allowed the Company to increase publishing efficiency and accelerate the delivery of global stories to local audiences while expanding content output and maintaining editorial quality and depth.

"Business Insider Taiwan demonstrates how a trusted global media brand can be expanded into a new language market when you combine local editorial expertise with AI-assisted operations. The progress achieved so far provides encouraging evidence that these capabilities can help accelerate audience growth, support new monetization opportunities, and strengthen the long-term value of trusted media brands," said Joey Chung, Co-Founder & President of TNL Mediagene.

"Our goal is not simply to translate global stories, but to make them meaningful and relevant for Chinese-speaking audiences. By combining original reporting, editorial judgment, and AI-assisted workflows, we are able to deliver broader international perspectives while dedicating more resources to analysis, context, and locally relevant storytelling," said April Lin, Editor-in-Chief of Business Insider Taiwan.

The Company views the growth of Business Insider Taiwan as an encouraging example of how established global media brands can be successfully expanded into new language markets through a combination of editorial expertise, AI-assisted operations, and platform-native distribution. The initiative reflects the Company's broader strategy of combining trusted brands, technology-enabled operations, and audience-focused innovation to create scalable growth opportunities across markets.
