The Industrial Technology Department of Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced today (June 3) that its review meeting for the "A+ Enterprise Innovation R&D Incubation Program" has approved three R&D projects, with total subsidies of approximately NT$280 million. The projects cover autonomous logistics vehicles, 6G communications, and smart maritime AI technology. Among them, China Motor Corporation (CMC) and Win Semiconductors both applied for projects with total budgets exceeding NT$300 million, and both received subsidies of over NT$100 million from the MOEA.
The department issued a press release stating that the 7th review meeting was held on May 28, approving three R&D projects led by Win Semiconductors, CMC, and LILIN Enterprise. These projects focus on 6G high-frequency communications, autonomous logistics vehicles, and smart maritime AI perception technology. The aim is to leverage key technologies such as advanced semiconductor processes, autonomous driving system integration, and edge AI image recognition to enhance Taiwan's industrial independent technology capabilities and international competitiveness.
In response to the trend of smart logistics and autonomous vehicle commercialization, CMC is partnering with KWAYI International Technology to promote the "Autonomous Logistics Vehicle System Safety and Key Technology Integration Verification Operation Project." This project will develop a domestically produced, mass-producible logistics vehicle equipped with a drive-by-wire chassis and Level 4 (L4) autonomous driving system.
The project integrates automotive electronic and electrical architecture, autonomous driving computing control, automotive cybersecurity, and logistics site application technologies. It will be validated on actual logistics routes to create a replicable, modular commercial autonomous logistics solution. Future applications include industrial park logistics, and it is expected to drive the development of Taiwan's smart vehicle, autonomous driving system, and automotive electronics supply chain.
In the field of smart communications, citing the rapid growth in demand for low-earth orbit satellites and high-speed data transmission, Win Semiconductors is promoting the "Key Process Technology Development Project for RF Power Amplifiers Towards the 6G Era." This project focuses on high-frequency component epitaxial process and performance optimization, integrating materials such as Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), Gallium Nitride (GaN), and Indium Phosphide (InP). It will also introduce AI technology to accelerate process development and reliability verification, establishing a mass-producible key process for 6G RF power amplifiers.
The department noted that the related technologies can be applied to low-earth orbit satellites, high-speed communications, and next-generation wireless transmission equipment, helping to enhance Taiwan's independent technology capabilities in the semiconductor and communications industries and strengthen its competitive advantage in the global high-frequency communications market.
Furthermore, addressing the demand for smart maritime and unmanned vessel applications, the department stated that LILIN Enterprise is collaborating with Lite-On Technology and the Ship and Ocean Industries R&D Center to promote the "Edge AI Multi-Band Image Perception Fusion Technology Development Project." This project aims to develop a high-end, domestically produced maritime AI PTZ camera.
The project will integrate technologies such as visible light, dual thermal imaging, multi-band image fusion, edge AI inference, dynamic target tracking, and ship motion compensation to enhance the device's all-weather perception capabilities in nighttime, heavy fog, and high-wave sea conditions. Future results can be applied to port surveillance, coast guard patrols, smart ships, and unmanned vessels, reducing dependence on imported high-end maritime perception equipment and driving the upgrade of Taiwan's image sensing, AI recognition, and maritime electronics industries.
The department added that for the three projects, CMC's total project budget is approximately NT$358 million, with a MOEA subsidy of about NT$132 million. Win Semiconductors' total project budget is approximately NT$316 million, with a MOEA subsidy of about NT$112 million. LILIN Enterprise's total project budget is approximately NT$95 million, with a MOEA subsidy of about NT$36 million.
