After nearly 30 years of strategic development, the Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP) has solidified its position as a global hub for semiconductor production, accounting for over 60% of global semiconductor production. Within STSP, the integrated circuit (IC) sector alone generated approximately NT$1.09 trillion (around US$40 billion) in revenue from January to August 2024, reflecting a 44.6% increase from the previous year.
This transformation is marked by significant investments and technological advancements, enabling STSP to attract major players in the chip industry, including TSMC, United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), Win Semiconductors, and Entegris. The park’s success is attributed to its robust infrastructure, skilled workforce, and supportive government policies that foster innovation and collaboration within the semiconductor ecosystem. As a result, STSP enhances Taiwan’s technological leadership and plays a critical role in the global supply chain for advanced electronics.
My Take
The emergence of STSP as a chipmaking leader shows the importance of long-term vision and investment in technology infrastructure.
