The development of science parks stems from the innovation in industry technology and the gathering of talent. The Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP), through the "Southern Taiwan Science Park Emerging Technology Application Plan," promotes industry-academia-research collaboration to enhance the innovative product technologies of park enterprises. Additionally, the "Science Park Talent Cultivation Grant Program" encourages students to intern at park companies, fostering the talent needed in the park. Moreover, by implementing the "Southern Taiwan Science Park Talent Cultivation and Industry-Academia Cooperation Program," STSP offers training courses for employees and reserve talent for newly-established science parks. This plan also establishes a talent matching platform to assist park enterprises in recruiting talent.
“Southern Taiwan Science Park Emerging Technology Application Plan”
To facilitate the employment growth and industrial innovation, and to encourage scientific undertakings to form alliances with different industries or academia jointly engage in the research and development of emerging technologies.
Since 2021, the Southern Taiwan Science Park Bureau has consolidated existing resources to promote the Science Park emerging technology application project, and has carried out cross-industry alliances guided by industrial needs.
