Teams must first register an account on the official program website (http://fiti.stpi.narl.org.tw/), then fill in online team and personal basic information, including the recommending professor and contact details of the affiliated institution, for verification by the program office.

The FITI program trains teams, not individuals. Recommended team size is 2–5 members.

Teams previously ranked in the top 40 but not top 20 in any FITI round may reapply with a revised business plan. Teams previously in the top 20 may not reapply with the same core concept/technology (determined by reviewers).

FITI targets teams meeting both of the following criteria: (1) Affiliated (as student/staff) with universities or research institutions eligible for MOST funding; (2) Social members (non-qualifying) must not exceed 50% of total team members.

Teams awarded the "Outstanding Entrepreneurship Award" can apply for the startup fund after completing company registration, submitting relevant documents. The amount depends on the annual fundraising status.

The recommending professor should hold at least an Assistant Professor position at a university or college.

Choose one from: Department Office / Incubation Center / Office of Research & Development / Research Unit.
