2 16 Annual Report Central Taiwan Science Park Central Taiwan Science Park With the motto “CTSP, Heading toward a Smart Future,” Central Taiwan Science Park (CTSP) celebrated its 13th anniversary in 2016. Since its inception, CTSP has continuously faced any challenges with courage and constantly moved towards a smart future at a steady pace. Our recruitment efforts paid off with fruitful results: the park welcomed 20 new businesses in 2016, an 11% increase from the previous year. Our park's total investment in 2016 reached NT$3.936 billion, and we have successfully brought in 189 enterprises so far. Furthermore, our park's occupancy rate of land and factories has been excellent, remaining at 90% and above. The number of park employees even surpassed the 40,000 mark. These impressive figures reflect the excellent performance of CTSP and serve as a strong proof of our personnel’s efforts. After years of cooperation between civil and government organizations, the reservation of Erlin Xiangsiliao, the relocation of arable land, and the LN. Nongchang Lot Sales Project have been achieved so that farmers could continue farming. All such sales and handover were finalized at the end of 2016. To perfect the park’s function regarding the education for the children of CTSP employees, the Junior High School of the National Experimental High School at CTSP (NEHS@CTSP) began to recruit students in March 2016, and the construction of the junior high school building was completed soon after June 2016. With a highly praised quality of education, NEHS@CTSP now provides comprehensive and advanced junior-senior high school programs that integrate software, hardware, and resources. In 2016, the CTSP Bureau further expanded its reach and carried out its social responsibility. It assembled and wrote the 2015 Corporate Social Responsibility Report and then received the 2016 Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards: NPO Gold Award from the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TAISE). CTSP constantly strives to present information about the park’s development and the performance of sustainable operations through public, transparent, and objective data. Looking toward 2017, we will begin operating five parks in CTSP by completing the construction of the Intelligent Park and Taichung Park Expansion Project. Furthermore, we will strive to initiate the Advanced Research Park in Zhongxing New Village, as well as facilitate the second round of the Environmental Impact Assessment of Houli Park and Erlin Park so that companies can establish operations in the parks. Moreover, we will establish the Innovation Park by promoting the smart machinery industry in Central Taiwan with regard to ten major innovative industries, and we will continue to tackle projects like Innovation and Entrepreneurship in cooperation with industrial, academic, and government sectors. In the future, CTSP will continue moving towards the goals of “intelligence, innovation, low carbon, and community prosperity” to create a multi-win situation with the hope of becoming one of the world’s most competitive green science parks. We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all the staff members of the CTSP Bureau for their efforts. As we face this new year, we will prepare ourselves for potential challenges and forge ahead towards success.
