Foreword International Leadership and Global Forerunner in Technology After 2009 global financial tsunami, the Central Taiwan Science Park (CTSP) experienced rapid growth in overall revenues in 2010, rising from NT$ 240 billion (US$ 7.643 billion) to over NT$ 360 billion (US$ 11.465 billion); the rise is more than 50%. Such remarkable results were made possible by the diligence of our colleagues and Park enterprises, who created an economic miracle for the Park together. President Ma Ying-Jeou mentioned, during his New Year speech at the 100th anniversary of R.O.C.(Taiwan), that Taiwan would enter a period of Ten Golden Years. In order to achieve plans of the government in the Ten Golden Years, especially in the post-ECFA era, CTSP is fully prepared to fulfill the third and fourth stage development plans for CTSP, accelerate assessment of environment evaluation, harness the potential of the Ten Golden Years, and spur comprehensive economic and employment growth. We will also begin contracting out processes so that CTSP can stand firm in central Taiwan and also explore global markets. Simultaneously, we will actively introduce Trillion-Dollar Emerging industries, such as green energy, communication, and biotechnology. Currently, the semiconductor companies in the Park have already led the investment in solar power as part of the green energy industry; which consequently brings in related subcontractors into the Park and adds advantages to CTSP. In addition, CTSP will introduce Taiwan's first Advanced Research Park, thus upgrading technology in Taiwan. The Advanced Research Park will eventually become an integrated multi- functional park with administrative services, cultural innovation, and high-tech R&D in the future. We hope to attract industrial research agencies with foresight and research process without pollution to encourage dynamic growth of technology industries in the park. These unprecedented prospective planning is intended to result in distinguished records of pollution-free industrial developments. As the leader of central Taiwan high-tech community, CTSP has always been committed to its social responsibility of environmental protection. In 2010, we faced severe challenges of environment assessment for our third stage development for Chising Park and the fourth stage development for Erlin Park. CTSP hopes to achieve a win-win solution for Taiwan's economy and environment, and proceed at a full speed for CTSP's development, expansion, and contracting as CTSP takes another major step towards transforming into an international technology park. Based on the good foundation, CTSP hopes to attract more investment and development of favorable industries. Facing the challenges of environmental assessment, we are always on guard and prepared. At the same time, we have taken the initiative to improve CTSP's international visibility, provide advantageous development environments for high-tech industries, and continue to lead innovations for the high-tech industries among central Taiwan.

It is the very first science park in Taiwan that the public construction and the manufacturing plants for Park enterprises were built simultaneously. It took only 10 months and 5 days from plan approval to commencement of construction. By July 28, 2003, the park was open to enterprises, resulting in unprecedented records and efficiency for the Park. On June 27, 2005, Houli Park was approved, and by March 31, 2006, the site was open to enterprises, making for another development record of 9 months and 4 days.

It took 1 year and 3 months from plant construction to operation, making for a new page of historical records in the Park's developments. By December 2010, the Park has approved a total of 108 enterprises whose combined investments have totaled to NT$ 2 trillion (US$ 63.694 billion). 79 of these Park enterprises now have Hsinchu Longtan fully operational plants. At this point, CTSP's clusters have begun to define their Biomedical Science Park Science Park reputation. Also, through ties with enterprises in Hsinchu Science Park and Southern Jhunan Taiwan Science Park, CTSP became a key player in shaping Taiwan as a high-tech Science Park Yilan Hsinchu Science Park island with a reputable distinction in the world. Tongluo Science Park Science Park Hsinchu Taichung Airport Houli Science Park Organization Taichung Taichung Science Park Harbor Science Park On January 26, 2007, the CTSP Administration Erlin was restructured from "the Central Taiwan Science Science Park Advanced Research Park Park Development and Planning Office" to "Central Huwei Taiwan Science Park Administration, National Science Science Park Central Taiwan Council, Executive Yuan" 5 divisions and 4 offices were established in the agency, including the Investment Science Park Division, Environment and Labor Affairs Division, Tainan Science Park Business Division, Land Development Division, and Construction Management Division, and the Secretariat Southern Taiwan Science Park Office, Personnel Office, Accounting Office, and Civil Kaohsiung Science Service Ethics Office, containing a total of 140 staffs and a budget for 117. Science Park Distribution 7 CENTRAL TAIWAN SCIENCE PARK 2010 ANNUAL REPORT CTSP Overview After successful and rapid introduction of the international-scale flagship plants of AU Optronics, we have also been diligently attracting domestic and foreign enterprises for the midstream and the downstream companies of the supplying chain. Available lands in the parks are already in high demand. By now, CTSP has entered its fourth stage of expansion with steady results, including 413 hectares in Taichung Park, 97 hectares in Huwei Park, 255 hectares in Houli Park, and 631 hectares under construction in Erlin Park, as well as the Advanced Research Park (ARP) planned and under development by the CTSP Administration, National Science Council. ARP project is previously under the approval and planning of the Council for Economic Planning and Development, Executive Yuan. Plans for the Advanced Research Park has been approved by the Executive Yuan on November 19, 2009, and urban planning was promulgated on October 15, 2010. The Park contains 259 hectares of space. Total development area of all Parks is 1,655 hectares. Taichung Science Park New Center of Prosperity for Central Taiwan The Taichung Park is situated at the border between Daya District and Situn District in Taichung City, and contains 413 hectares. The public road network is connected to National Highway No. 1, National Highway No. 3, and Provincial Highway No. 74. The site is 9.2 km away from Taichung High Speed Rail station, and is also close to Taichung Harbor and Taichung Airport, which provides convenient transportation systems. The site is highly convenient for international corporate interaction and product sales. Also, geographical advantages, pleasant weather, and comprehensive urban amenities in nearby districts all Taichung Science Park contribute to the best environmental appeal and incentives for attracting high-tech industries and providing residences for high-tech professionals. The overall core planning foundation is tailored to turn CTSP into a sustainable green technology park that is well-integrated with the local area. Huwei Science Park Emerging High-Tech Star Huwei Park is located in northwest area of Huwei Township in Yunlin County. With an area of 97 hectares and being close to the High Speed Rail station District, it can incorporate the high Huwei Science Park speed rail amenity in the future and become a green, healthy, multifunctional, and highly desirable living space in the future. Prosperous industrial developments can be expected in the near future.
