From Fuxing to the World|Building Digital Infrastructure for a Rural Community to Operate on Its Own Terms
From membership, missions and local merchants to youth participation, bilingual infrastructure and international collaboration, PLUWFUN is testing a larger idea in Taiwan’s mountain communities: can a rural place gradually build its own digital relationships, local market and pathway to the world?
Rural digital transformation is often reduced to websites, social media or e-commerce. In Fuxing District, Taiwan, Mr. Flying Squirrel and PLUWFUN are testing something broader: whether a mountain community can gradually build its own relationships, local market, youth capability, data infrastructure and international connections. This is not a finished success story. It is a story in progress.

Digital transformation becomes meaningful when it moves beyond the website and into the everyday life of local businesses.
