After station into Kaohsiung Cianjhen Technology Industrial Park (CTIP), it is expected to connect other LED lighting equipment manufacturers in the park to establish a related industrial chain.
Another company will invest NTD 1.2 billion to move the production line into Taichung Port Technology Industrial Park (TPTIP) for operation. The company plans to upgrade the production line to automated and smart production, expand the scale of operation and production efficiency. The company is mainly engaged in the development and manufacturing of home technology smart electric bed sets. The products use personalised settings and cloud, big data technology to customize sleep services and improve user’s sleep quality.
Another tech company mainly provides ship design and related technical analysis services. The company proposes simplified construction difficulty design in the initial design and assists the shipyard in setting up CNC and other automated production machines to reduce labour costs.
