Historical View on The Development of Semiconductor Industry in Kaohsiung

KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN – Media OutReach – 17 December 2021 – While Kaohsiung is celebrating its 100th year from foundation in 2020, its industry has been quietly breeding for more than a century of history.

 

Taiwan created world-famous “Taiwan’s Economic Miracle!” due to the establishment of the first free zone of “Export Processing Zone (EPZ)” in the world.  The industrial development of the Kaohsiung EPZ is also a pioneer in the development of Taiwan’s electronics industry and has cultivated many talents in Taiwan’s semiconductor industry. The development history of Kaohsiung’s industry is also inseparable from the development of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry due to the success of the Taiwan’s Export Processing Zone experience.

 

Kaohsiung is the best choice for the semiconductor manufacturing industry. This year, for enhancing the semiconductor A-teams of Taiwan, the government is focusing on building a semiconductor supply chain ecosystem, along with driving 5G, AI, electric cars and smart machinery development, planning to set up a “Semiconductor Advanced Materials and Components Park” in Kaohsiung to allow the industrial supply chain to “provide locally.” What’s more, this year Kaohsiung has successfully recruited international semiconductor material suppliers to enter the Southern Science Park Luchu base, including the Merck® Group and Entegris Inc., combining the domestic semiconductor material manufacturers to build the park into the largest semiconductor process center in Taiwan, and provide full process material supports for the surrounding TSMC®, ASE®, NXP®, Winbond®, Winfoundary® and other major semiconductor manufacturers. Furthermore, it will geographically connect Southern Science Park in Taiwan, Luchu, Qiaotou, Nanzi, Dashe, Renwu, Daliao, Linyuan, Xiaogang industrial parks, with the goal of creating the “Southern Semiconductor S Corridor”, we will create a complete semiconductor industry ecosystem for southern Taiwan.

 

Kaohsiung not only has a solid foundation for industrial development, but also has the advantages of sufficient water and electricity supply and both sea and air ports. The five deficiencies including water, electricity, land, labor and talent, that enterprises are worried about for investment have been dealt with in advance. Kaohsiung is the only city which has both the harbor and airport in Taiwan, with stable water and electricity supply, and rich industrial human resources. The surrounding MRT, railway and other public transportation network, park tour buses, and moreover, actively strive for new city development investment deduction rate, provide taxation, rent concessions, rental tax and financing interest subsidies for resident manufacturers, and strive to make Kaohsiung Taiwan’s best investment environment.

TAKAO’s spirit influences the world: Build the value in Taiwan from investing in Kaohsiung

KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN – Media OutReach – 17 December 2021 – After the global outbreak of the pandemic, there’re not only changes in our daily life, but also major changes in urban transformation.

 

Taiwan’s economic growth rate (year on year, yoy) in 2020 is 2.98%, and it is the best performer among the developed countries in the world. Kaohsiung is also well equipped with water, electricity, land, human resources and other resources, attracting well-known domestic and foreign manufacturers to make investments. Since last year, the cumulative amount of investment in Kaohsiung has reached 159.4 billion. The next two major directions of Kaohsiung’s investment and city development are: The 5G AIoT Innovation Park in Asia’s New Bay Area, which is about to involve investment of tens of billions of dollars, and the high-end manufacturing centers and semiconductor clusters to be formed in the Qiaotou Science Park and Renwu Industrial Park.

 

Kaohsiung has officially launched the “Asia New Bay Area 5G AIoT Innovation Park” this year. It will invest a total of 11 billion in 5 years to build the country’s best 5G dedicated frequency network. 5G technology is connected to the national first-level construction, promoting Asia New Bay Area as the most comprehensive 5G AIoT development field in Taiwan, form a new gateway for smart cities. The development of the park needs to be driven by the surrounding food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment industries. From Luzhu to Qiaotou, the biomedical and optoelectronic industries are growing one by one. In the next ten years, it will create more than 200 billion output value and 10,000 jobs in Kaohsiung, connect the major parks in the south to jointly promote the development of southern Taiwan, participate in major global competitions, and attract talents from all walks of life to develop in Kaohsiung.

 

With stable water and electricity supply, and rich industrial human resources, Kaohsiung has various technology industrial parks, which can meet the investment needs of enterprises, and the government also raises investment incentives, R&D incentives, and talents subsidies. Moreover, Kaohsiung has 16 colleges and campuses, and 6 foreign schools with diversified specialties, and cultivates nearly 140,000 professionals every year.

 

Kaohsiung will also take urgent action to face climate change and its impact in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2021, an age when great harbors are surging, Kaohsiung faces directly to challenges. In the past 100 years, Kaohsiung has transformed from a small fishing village to a major industrial city; in the next 100 years, Kaohsiung will transform to an international smart harbor and a livable city embracing more possibilities

  • Successfully secured 4 residential condominium in Singapore alone and up to 2000 Habitap ONE users in the commercial space within 3 months of its launch

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 17 December 2021 – Habitap ONE, Asia’s first subscription-based access management system has seen a steady demand for its solution, since launching in September 2021. Reaching a key milestone in just three months of conceptualisation, Habitap ONE has secured projects, with some of the industry’s leading organisations, including CGS-CIMB. It has also confirmed its involvement in KeppelLand‘s latest project, The Reef at King’s Dock, successfully securing 4 residential condominiums in total since its inception. Aimed at revolutionising the way individuals access homes and offices with its intuitive user interface, the cloud-driven platform, which has a minimal setup cost and a low monthly fee, has also captured the attention more than 2000 Habitap ONE users in the commercial space.

Habitap ONE has empowered commercial businesses and residential properties to incorporate smart living management solutions, with an affordable monthly fee, eliminating what was once a complex installation with a hefty price tag. These businesses now also have the option of becoming more tech-savvy without the hassle of maintaining the systems themselves.  For example, the solution will mean that physical access cards and tokens for access to offices and homes are no longer required, while still maintaining the same level of security. Guest registration will also be digitally managed through an app, which will significantly reduce the waiting time at office building security counters or receptions. 

Franklin Tang, founder of Habitap said, “The past two months have been an absolute success, with more commercial business and residential projects coming on board. Our aim of introducing Habitap ONE into the market, was to remove the barriers of entry for businesses and residential projects, if they were considering investing in a smart management solution. Before going to market with this innovative solution and disruptive business model, we understood the constraints of high installation costs and maintenance of such smart solutions and decided to eliminate and challenge the industry norm.”

“We’re very excited to have businesses like CGS-CIMB on board alongside our recent residential projects and we look forward to working with many more partners to incorporate our simple and fuss-free solution,” he added.

Malcom Koo, Deputy CEO of CGS-CIMB Singapore said, “With the introduction of Habitap ONE, we’re very pleased to smoothly and seamlessly migrate our staff management ecosystem to a single mobile application. CGS-CIMB now has the convenience of having an integrated app that encompasses the staff QR business card, HID mobile access and facial recognition for door access control and electronic staff locker access. The app also enhances our visitor experience by allowing staff to pre issue visitor access through the lobby turnstiles and allows visitor to easily reach our staff through the visitor web intercom upon arriving at our office. We are also able to move away from utilising physical access cards for better security management and governance while maintaining the robust security that is required for a regulated institution like CGS-CIMB.”

 

“Habitap ONE has definitely provided a unified and powerful solution that meets the increasing demand for security access systems in both homes and offices at an efficient price which also allows you to pay as you use,” he continued.
