The Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) held the first year-end press conference on November 13, 2023. At the conference, Deputy Director General Liu Chi-Chuan announced that the BIP will adopt the vision of "smart, safe, and sustainable" as its governing principle. BIP aims to actively promote five major missions, including "providing quality spaces, counseling companies upgrade, implementing low-carbon safety, promoting smart services, and creating a friendly workplace." These initiatives are expected to inject continuous growth momentum into domestic industrial parks' development.

Currently, the BIP is the largest nationwide industrial park management organization, covering an area of 33,000 hectares, including over 75% of the industrial land in the country. The industrial output of companies within BIP's jurisdiction reaches up to NT$9 trillion, making it a cornerstone of the country's industrial development. Therefore, the transformation of industrial parks is crucial for the nation's industrial growth.
The Bureau of Industrial Parks of the Ministry of Economic Affairs stated that during the reorganization, the BIP has simultaneously established four branches in Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung-Pingtung, which could handle administrative tasks in each jurisdiction promptly. Doing so could improve the situation in the past when businesses in industrial parks nationwide had to be sent to Taipei (Industrial Development Bureau) review will greatly improve administrative efficiency. Additionally, the BIP has achieved notable performance in various aspects this year, including:
I. Space Expansion: Initiatives such as the development of five major industrial parks and three technology industrial parks, the construction of two smart buildings, and acceleration of land renewal and activation, increasing of approximately 300 hectares of industrial spaces.

Deputy Director General Liu emphasized that the establishment of the BIP signifies a new milestone in the development of the country's industrial parks. In the future, in addition to actively implementing the governing vision of "smart, safe, and sustainable," the BIP will adopt a "forward-thinking" approach, aligning with industrial trends, integrating the advantages of regulations and management systems from two industrial parks, promoting system integration, actively seeking more resources for renewal and digitization, and promoting exchange and cooperation among cross-industrial park companies to expand integrated benefits. This approach aims to enhance business opportunities for industrial park companies, thereby boosting the competitiveness of domestic industries.
