Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Regional authorities in Taiwan are pursuing industrial development centered on artificial intelligence and advanced technology sectors. In Taoyuan, the local government is focusing on the Aviation City and Yangmei districts. Efforts include establishing a dedicated zone for high-end IC substrates, supported by high-voltage power infrastructure and land provision through surface rights. Additionally, a drone industry base is being developed in Yangmei to create a supply chain for research, production, and testing. In Tainan, officials and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) are working to transform the Shalun Green Energy Science City into a hub for the ‘Southern Taiwan Silicon Valley’. This initiative focuses on building an AI application ecosystem through cloud computing, smart robotics, and green energy, with an emphasis on transferring these technologies to local traditional industries. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-16: Tainan promotes AI and green energy to build Southern Taiwan Silicon Valley Tainan is advancing the ‘Southern Taiwan Silicon Valley’ project in Shalun, focusing on AI, smart robotics, and green energy to drive industrial upgrading and create a new tech ecosystem. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tainan-promotes-ai-and-green-energy-to-build-southern-taiwan-silicon-valley ### 2026-09-15: Taoyuan advances AI substrate and drone industry hubs Taoyuan is expanding its industrial footprint by establishing a high-end IC substrate zone in Aviation City for the AI sector and a drone industry base in Yangmei to support the low-altitude economy. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/taoyuan-advances-ai-substrate-and-drone-industry-hubs --- Cite as: Taiwan regional AI and technology industrial development.
