Promoting Innovative IoT Products
Launched the Southern Taiwan IoT Service Hub to boost the development and production of IoT-based products.
(1)With support from the Industrial Development Administration(IDA), Ministry of Economic Affairs(MOEA), the IoT Service Hub offers manufacturing-oriented guidance programs to accelerate the development and commercialization of IoT products. To strengthen regional innovation capacity, STIPC established a branch in Kaohsiung—officially named the Southern Taiwan IoT Service Hub, which helps companies check existing product inventory, run diagnoses regarding business operation, and even refer cases to professionals to seek further help.
(2)By leveraging resources from the IisC project, STIPC enables trial deployments in venues, collects end-user feedback, and refines products to align with market needs.
▲ In 2018, the Southern Taiwan IoT Service Hub was established to support industrial innovation and integration.
▲ Facilitated a collaboration between Whetron Electronics and Acer ITS, resulting in the first smart transportation pilot project implemented in the Asia New Bay Area.
🌏International Scientific and Technological Resource Matching
1. The Southeast Asia Semiconductor Recruitment Team
In 2023, STIPC led a delegation of leading semiconductor companies—including MediaTek, TSMC, Realtek, Phison, ASE Group, and UMC—alongside universities, to conduct talent recruitment events across several Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The initiative resulted in over 1,424 on-site interviews and the collection of 1,050 résumés, significantly enhancing international talent acquisition efforts for Taiwan’s semiconductor industry.
▲ STIPC organized the Southeast Asia Semiconductor Recruitment Team to promote employment and education in Taiwan's semiconductor industry and to expand international talent attraction channels.
2. Yawan Cloud Platform x Microsoft for Startups
Since 2021, STIPC has partnered with the Small and Medium Enterprise Administration (SMEA), Ministry of Economic Affairs, and Microsoft Taiwan to jointly promote cloud-based startup development. In 2022, the “Yawan Cloud Platform x Microsoft for Startups” program was officially launched to accelerate the growth of cloud startups and strengthen the innovation ecosystem in southern Taiwan.
