Director General’s Foreword

Celebration for the STSP’s Outstanding Achievements

Challenges in 2021 included surging cases of COVID-19 along with a drought, and

in the Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP) we worked hand in hand with tenant

enterprises to create three all-time highs: the highest turnover on record, the highest
number of people employed, and the highest growth. For the first time, the STSP’s

turnover exceeded a trillion, totaling 1.09 trillion with more than 84,000 workers

employed. Pushed by the pandemic, a stay-at-home economy became the drive for the

STSP’s growth to a new peak of achievement.

Advanced manufacturing production of the semiconductor leaders has continuously

expanded in the STSP to develop a magnetic effect for its industrial clusters. In lieu
of increasing investment of upstream and downstream international players, the

STSP has become one of the world’s largest IC industrial clusters. To strengthen the

development of the IC corridor in Southern Taiwan, the STSP Bureau(STSPB) began

its preemptive preparation by inviting investment from the Ciaotou Science Park with

the expected amount exceeding hundreds of billions of New Taiwanese Dollars. The

establishment of Pingtung Science Park and Chiayi Science Park were approved by

the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China. Additionally, Expansion of Phase III of

the Tainan Science Park has been speeding up with the vision to complete the building

of the scientific corridor of Southern Taiwan. With the commitment and dedication of
the STSPB team, our goals will be achieved as planned.
