New Season Now Streaming on TaiwanPlus 

TAIPEI, April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TaiwanPlus is pleased to introduce the newly rebranded "Connected on TaiwanPlus", a fast-paced current affairs program offering global audiences a deeper lens into the tech and business forces shaping Taiwan—and the world. Now streaming, the revitalized series debuts with a sharp new editorial focus, a state-of-the-art studio featuring an immersive video wall, and a bold visual identity that underscores its future-facing perspective.  

Led by award-winning journalist Divya Gopalan, and joined by a team of expert contributors, the show delivers incisive conversations and fresh reporting on the trends defining innovation, industry, and international relevance. 

Since its debut in 2023, Connected has tackled a wide range of timely topics—from food culture and social movements to environmental issues, geopolitics, and societal change. With Taiwan's growing influence on the global stage, particularly in technology and business, the newly reimagined "Connected with TaiwanPlus" sharpens its focus to reflect this momentum. The program now sets its sights on key international audiences, delivering deeper coverage of Taiwan's leadership in semiconductors, financial innovation, and emerging business strategies—areas where global interest is accelerating rapidly. 

"Taiwan's technology and business sectors are shaping the global landscape, and our audience wants to stay ahead of the curve," stated host and producer Divya Gopalan. "In a world where sound bites and short-form is the norm, we at 'Connected' still see huge importance in being able to dig deeper into issues of international significance and facilitate dialogue between Taiwan and the world."  

"Connected" will continue to air twice a week on the TaiwanPlus' website and the "Connected" YouTube channel. The program will also expand its presence with two additional episodes per month, including:  

• A monthly podcast to provide extended discussions on key topics.
• In-depth interviews with global business leaders and tech pioneers.
• Explainer videos and special reports covering Taiwan's biggest tech and business developments.
• On-location coverage from industry events, startup showcases, and innovation hubs.

With its revamped look, sharper content focus, and expanded digital presence, "Connected" is set to become the go-to source for in-depth insights into Taiwan's tech and business sectors. The first episode, "Diving into Taiwan's Semiconductor Future," is now available on the TaiwanPlus website, "Connected" YouTube channel, and our app newly available for Apple and Android TV.
