The largest science park in Taiwan

Hsinchu Science Park (HSP) is the largest science park in Taiwan and one of the world's most significant clusters for semiconductor manufacturing. More than 400 high-tech companies, mainly involved in the semiconductor, computer, telecommunication, and optoelectronics industries, have been established in the park since the 1980’s and accounted for 10% of Taiwan's gross domestic product in 2007. The world's top two semiconductor foundries, TSMC and UMC, are located here. Next to the park are two of Taiwan's foremost universities for science and engineering, National Chiao Tung University and National Tsing Hua University.

MAA was tasked with performing studies on the Hsinchu Science Park expansion, including a survey of the relevant companies to gauge their location preferences, issuing recommendations based on Taiwan’s high tech development strategy, and drafting engineering feasibility studies regarding the expansion of the park.
