In this episode of Taiwanese Change Makers, host Adrian de Courcey sits down with En-chia Tsai, an award-winning entrepreneur, co-founder of Bened Biomedical (a pioneering neurobiotics company), and chairwoman of the Taipei Women’s Rescue Foundation.
En-chia shares her journey from studying abroad in Ireland and the UK to leading groundbreaking research in psychobiotics—probiotics that improve neurological health for conditions such as, autism, Parkinson’s, and depression. She discusses how Bened Biomedical is revolutionising the gut-brain axis, and her vision for making Bened and Taiwan global brands in biotech.
Beyond business, En-chia opens up about her impactful role at the Taipei Women’s Rescue Foundation, combating human trafficking, domestic violence, and digital sexual abuse. She sheds light on the dark reality of scam operations in Southeast Asia and how the foundation rescues victims while advocating for policy change.
Finally, En-chia reflects on work-life balance as a working mom, her favourite spots in Taiwan (including Tainan’s street food!), and why Din Tai Fung remains her top restaurant pick.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation on innovation, social impact, and resilience with one of Taiwan’s leading Change Makers!
