NSC said that the exports of whole science park reached 1339.9 billion last year, the annual growth rate of 7.4%, a record high turnover. In addition, employment in the three science parks also came to historic highs last year, 25.39 million employees, an increase of 9,000 employees than previous year.

Among the three major science parks, Hsinchu Science Park(HCSP) turnover of NT$ 1.11 trillion, the second highest performance for the past five years, the annual growth rate of 5.1 %. Six ix categories of industries of Hsinchu Science Park, in addition to the communications industry decreased 10% by slowing demand of satellite communications systems, fiber and other factors, the rest of industries, such as integrated circuits, optoelectronics, computer , precision machinery and biotechnology had grown.

In Central Taiwan Science Park(CTSP), due to the construction of factories have completed and entered the operational stage of mass production, growing demand for mobile devices, IC design industry started to import 28-nanometer process, driven revenue reached historical high of NT$ 45.99 billion, as well as the growth rate of 42.2%.

CTSP said that the most important outcome of last year was bike brand Giant to set up manufacturing headquarters and R & D center.

As for Southern Taiwan Science Park(STSP), revenue reached NT$ 6,151 billion, but the growth rate decreased 1.1%. NSC said that the main process of STSP’s IC industry is 40 nm, the growth was below anticipation for market factors, but the optoelectronics industry revenues continue to grow. In terms of biotechnology industry, had good results from cancer and central nervous system drug. STSP expected the revenue grow while 20 nm and 16 nm process are mass production.

Outlook 2014, the revenue growth rate of HCSP between 3-5%, is expected to reach NT$1.16 trillion; CTSP up to NT$ 480 billion and may over NT$ 500 billion; STSP grows to NT$ 650 billion. The overall revenue of three science parks this year will surmount last year for NT$ 12 billion to NT$ 10 billion.
