Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City Beckons Green Energy Technology Industry

 Within the Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City, located in the Tainan High-Speed Rail Special Zone, various opportunities await the green energy technology industry. This vibrant hub not only boasts excellent transportation connections but is also surrounded by renowned academic institutions such as National Cheng Kung University, National Yang-Ming University, and Chang Jung Christian University. Moreover, it enjoys the presence of three esteemed national research institutes—Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Academia Sinica, and National Applied Research Laboratories (NARLabs).

The Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City encompasses different key areas dedicated to specific purposes. These include the Taiwan Autonomous Vehicle Testing Lab, the Smart Green Energy Circular Housing Park, the Greater Tainan Convention and Exhibition Center (Zone A), industry-specific zones (Zones B, F, and X), the Cybersecurity and Smart Technology Research and Development Building (Zone C), and the Shalun Green Energy Technology Demonstration Field (Zone D). 

The Taiwan Autonomous Vehicle Testing Lab serves as a dynamic setting for demonstrating and testing low-speed vehicles on urban roads, enabling the evaluation of cutting-edge products. The Smart Green Energy Circular Housing Park showcases an innovative approach to sustainable living by incorporating circular economy principles into its architectural designs. The Greater Tainan Convention and Exhibition Center serves as a bustling platform for industrial development, leveraging the region's cultural and tourism resources alongside its strategic industries. The Cybersecurity and Smart Technology Research and Development Building acts as a catalyst for startups, research initiatives, and testing, fostering the growth of smart technology-related industries. Finally, the Shalun Green Energy Technology Demonstration Field serves as an impactful platform for testing, verifying, and showcasing green energy technologies, including the application of non-copper alternatives within a sustainable living environment. The industry-specific zones cater to companies seeking to establish their own state-of-the-art research and development facilities.

Among these zones, the green energy technology demonstration field in Zone D covers an extensive area of approximately 7.44 hectares. Since its inauguration in December 2019, it has achieved an impressive occupancy rate of 94%, with 26 units already established. Notably, Tianqin Optoelectronics, one of the prominent entities, specializes in top-tier LED/Laser products and designs, catering to various sectors such as medical, automotive, and professional lighting. Their endoscope products, globally recognized as leading benchmarks, serve as a primary supplier to Karl Storz SE & Co, Germany's largest medical device company.

The operational strategy of the Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City revolves around three main aspects: environmental preparation, investment attraction, and project implementation. The aim is to foster interdisciplinary research and development in the field of smart green energy, reshape traditional business models, and ensure sustainable operations while nurturing emerging industries. Looking ahead to 2023, the investment strategy primarily focuses on collaborative demonstration and verification, finalizing the commercialization phase, showcasing innovative products and technologies, and offering immersive experiences that exemplify the green energy lifestyle. Priority will be given to attracting investment by integrating renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy storage, and smart systems, leveraging the synergistic benefits of these converging sectors. These initiatives are poised to bolster the development and expansion of the entire green energy industry chain within the Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City.
