KiWi Selected for Startup Terrace IP2 ScaleOut: Landing the AI Energy Operating System in the US
KiWi New Energy has been selected for Startup Terrace's IP2 ScaleOut program — a market-entry initiative that helps Taiwan's most globally-ready startups establish operations, customers, and partnerships in the United States. The kick-off meeting took place last Friday, marking the official start of KiWi's structured US scale-out plan for the AI Energy Datacenter (AI-EDC).
Building globally is rarely a one-time journey — it is a layered, multi-year process of validating product, building local presence, and earning the trust of regulators, partners, and customers in each market. That is exactly why we are honored to share that KiWi New Energy has been selected for Startup Terrace's IP2 ScaleOut program, a flagship initiative that handpicks Taiwan's most globally-ready startups and helps them establish a real operating footprint in the United States.
The kick-off meeting took place last Friday at Startup Terrace, where KiWi joined the cohort of selected teams to align on the program's structured US market-entry roadmap — covering go-to-market strategy, regulatory navigation, partner introductions, US-based customer development, and on-the-ground support throughout the scale-out cycle.
For KiWi, IP2 ScaleOut is a direct accelerant for our US expansion thesis: bringing the AI Energy Datacenter (AI-EDC) — already operating the largest VPP network in Taiwan with 207 sites, 256 Tesla Powerwall batteries, and 45 Wall Connectors under live AI dispatch — to North American utilities, retailers, and data center operators that need time-matched green power and distributed asset orchestration at portfolio scale.
We are grateful to the Startup Terrace team and the IP2 ScaleOut mentors and partners for the selection and for the depth of the kick-off conversation. Combined with our recent participation in Plug and Play's Silicon Valley Summit, this program gives KiWi a structured, well-supported runway to land AI-EDC in the US market over the coming months.
If you are a US utility, retailer, data center operator, or investor exploring distributed solar + storage + demand response at portfolio scale, we would love to talk. Reach us at cs@kiwinewenergy.com or via the Contact page.
