Abstract
The international competitiveness of science and technology has gradually become more intense in the light of its rapid development and the era of globalization. Governments around the world share a general consensus on seeking national economic progress and reinforcing comprehensive national strengths based on science and technology development. Since the 1970s, western economies have strategically established sciencebased parks at special regions for developing of cutting-edge technology. This strategy seemed to be adopted in Taiwan, and enabled Taiwan to mark its position in the global computer and optoelectronics industries. For example, Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park (HSIP, located in northern Taiwan) owns the most integrated and complete industrial chain in the semiconductor field, and it offers a strong industrial model the semiconductor industry. In addition, the campus manufacturers are not only the key original equipment manufacturers for global computer and optoelectronics products, but also the main engines of Taiwan’s foreign exchange reserve. Beside the semiconductor, the industries that locate in Taiwan Science-based Industrial Parks, such as liquid crystal display, light emitting diode and green energy seek to develop a globally competitive supply chain. According to the 2007-2008 Global Competitiveness Report published by the 2009 World Economic Forum (WEF), Taiwan has again taken first place worldwide in the “state of cluster development” index, after integrated effecting the upstream and downstream resources of IT and opto-electronics industry within the Science-based Industrial Park. Its score of 5.7 points (out of a possible 7 points) shows an increase of 0.18 points from 5.52 points the previous year, indicative of its outstanding industrial clusters of Taiwanese Science-based Parks. In Taiwan, the National Science Council (NSC) of the Executive Yuan (executive branch of the Taiwan) is the highest Taiwan government agency responsible for promoting the development of science and technology, it is also the administration to establish Hsinchu
