To implement President Lai Ching-te's policy blueprint of a "Balanced Taiwan," the Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) held the "2025 Industrial Park Development Policy Summit Forum" on August 29. The forum was chaired by MOEA Deputy Minister Ho Chin-tsang and brought together deputy mayors of Taiwan's six special municipalities, Hsu Cheng-yun, Chairman of the MUGA, along with leading scholars, experts, and representatives from industry, government, and academia. Together, they discussed how industrial parks can serve as the key driving engines for the six major regional industries and living circles, while mapping out a forward-looking blueprint for regional development. Future policies will focus on three priorities: strengthening national economic infrastructure, supporting traditional industries and SMEs, and promoting the global expansion of high-tech industries, contributing to the President's vision of building an "everlasting economy."
The forum, themed "Industrial Park Development and Management for a Balanced Taiwan," took a holistic view of Taiwan's national development by reviewing local characteristics and resources across regions. By fostering industrial growth, the government aims to create job opportunities for young people, increase income levels, enhance living standards, and narrow the urban-rural development gap.
The park is not only a space for economic activities, but will also become an important driving platform for regional balance, promoting youth return home, and practicing sustainable transformation. The MOEA Deputy Minister Ho emphasized that industrial parks are strategic nodes supporting Taiwan's industrial policies: "By optimizing land supply and governance mechanisms, industrial parks will link industries, talent, and daily life, becoming hubs for local economic advancement." He stressed that MOEA will continue strengthening interagency coordination and assist local governments in integrating resources to build an innovative and resilient industrial ecosystem.

Prof. Cheng An-Ting of National Chengchi University gave a speech titled "Industrial Land Policy and Industrial Park Development Program," analyzing the challenges and future directions of the industrial land policies. He pointed out that local governments should transform from passive executors to active collaborators and work with the central government to meet the challenges of industrial upgrading and resource reallocation. Prof. Hu Tai-Shan of National Cheng Kung University and Prof. Hung Chi-Tung of Ming Chuan University further contributed insights on smart governance, disaster resilience, and sustainable design.
The summit opened with remarks from NDC Deputy Minister Peng Li-Pei, who explained the overall development direction of the six regional industry and living circles, highlighting 152 major national construction projects promoted jointly by the central and local governments. BIP Director-General Yang Chih-Ching underscored that the Bureau continues to advance land revitalization, vertical renewal, and new park development, with "Smart, Safe, and Sustainable" as its core principles.
Deputy mayors from the six municipalities shared their local industrial blueprints. Deputy Mayor Chang Wen-Te of Taipei City proposed the "Golden Corridor" linking Taipei, New Taipei, Keelung, and Yulan to develop AI, biotech, and low-carbon governance; Deputy Mayor Liu Ho-Jan of New Taipei City introduced the "AI+ Smart Park" featuring digital governance and sustainability applications; Deputy Mayor Wang Ming-Chu of Taoyuan City highlighted Phase III of Longtan Science Park and city-run parks focused on renewable energy and circular economy; Deputy Mayor Huang Kuo-Jung of Taichung City stressed investments by major semiconductor firms in Central Taiwan Science Park, driving trillion-dollar projects and new parks; Deputy Mayor Chao Ching-Hui of Tainan City outlined park transformation and infrastructure expansion in response to Southern Taiwan Science Park growth; Deputy Mayor Lin Chin-Jung of Kaohsiung City presented the vision of "Transforming Kaohsiung" into a smart, resilient city under the 2050 net-zero target.
Experts agreed that future industrial parks must advance toward smart, sustainable, and cross-domain integration on a foundation of security. Beyond being growth spaces for enterprises, they must also build low-carbon infrastructure, establish carbon governance and data systems, and foster industry-academia collaboration to attract young entrepreneurs and global R&D resources.
This forum successfully built a high-level communication platform between central and local governments, consolidating consensus for the six regional industries and living circles. MOEA emphasized that industrial parks will continue serving as strategic nodes in driving an inclusive and forward-looking development path, ensuring all regions of Taiwan share in the benefits of industrial upgrading and job creation. Above all, central and local governments will join forces with industry, always standing together to grow Taiwan's economy.
