Taiwan’s Ministry of Science and Technology unveiled a bold roadmap on March 17, 2025, during a business report to the Legislative Yuan, outlining the government’s vision to establish Taiwan as an AI island. As part of this initiative, the government has launched the “Greater Southern New Silicon Valley” plan. A key highlight is the remarkable transformation of the Sha-Lun Science and Technology Park, once relatively ignored. Its cybersecurity and smart technology research and development center is now on track to reach a 90% occupancy rate by February 2025, positioning it as a critical cybersecurity hub in southern Taiwan.
