To tackle issues of land shortage as well as industrial transformation in Hsinchu Science Park, the Hsinchu City government launched its X project recently as an innovative base.
According to Hsinchu Mayor Lin Chih-chien (林智堅), the project is aimed at generating output value of NT$400 billion and creating 10,000 job opportunities by converting the city’s Gongdao 5th Road into a base for advancing the technology industry and stimulating economic growth in Taiwan.
With the central government's support, the project is expected to boost Hsinchu Science Park and make it a bigger driving force behind the city’s development, Lin said.
Mayor Lin, along with Minister of Science and Technology Chen Liang-gee (陳良基), CPC Corporation Chairman Tai Chein (戴謙), Deputy Agriculture Minister Lee Tui-chih (李退之), and Hsinchu Science Park Administration Director-General Wayne Wang (王永壯), went on Nov. 16 to look at the land that was designated for project X.
The city government will collaborate with Taiwan Fertilizer, CPC Corporation, the Hsinchu Science Park Administration, and the central government to create an innovative base by integrating the science park and two technology corridors, said Lin, noting that Hsinchu City is known as Taiwan's Silicon Valley.
One of the goals of the city government is to bring more investment and job opportunities into Hsinchu, he said. Hsinchu Science Park X, spread over 36 hectares of land, will become an innovative science park for the next generation, Lin said.
The output value of Hsinchu Science Park had grown from NT$100 billion to NT$1 trillion. However, the park is facing a land shortage due to its rapid growth. Hsinchu Science Park X, therefore, will be the key to the development and transformation of the eastern region of Hsinchu, said lawmaker Ker Chien-ming (柯建銘).
