(Central News Agency reporter Lin Chiao-lien, Kaohsiung, 9th) Three more tech companies have moved into Kaohsiung's PIER F warehouse (棧叁庫). The Kaohsiung City Government today signed letters of intent with Microip, Zangshi Technology, and Zhisheng Digital Technology. Mayor Chen Chi-mai joked, "After ASpeed Technology moved in, its stock price soared. Now that new industries are moving in, everyone should pay attention."
Mayor Chen attended the signing ceremony and stated that Kaohsiung, as an important industrial hub and export port in Taiwan, has port warehouses that carry the city's important memories of transitioning from an agricultural to an industrial era. The Pier 3 warehouse was once a banana export hub, witnessing Kaohsiung's prosperity as an international commercial port. Now, through collaboration between the city government and Taiwan International Ports Corporation, it has successfully transformed into a smart technology industry base.
Mayor Chen pointed out that with the rapid global evolution of AI technology, Kaohsiung has actively applied artificial intelligence to urban governance areas such as transportation, healthcare, and disaster prevention in recent years. It is also building a city-owned AI platform through the "Smart Kaohsiung Lighthouse Project" to improve governance efficiency and continuously refine the AI industry ecosystem. This new wave of company relocation shows that Kaohsiung's AI industry development momentum continues to heat up.
Mayor Chen thanked Microip for its confidence in Kaohsiung's semiconductor and AI industry prospects, establishing its southern R&D center and technical verification capabilities in Kaohsiung. Zangshi Technology focuses on smart city and drone applications using GIS technology. Zhisheng Digital Technology concentrates on smart ships and edge AI development. These moves are expected to accelerate AI technology's transition from the cloud to physical applications, expanding verification and implementation across land, sea, and air domains.
Microip Chairman Yang Jian-meng said that establishing a southern R&D center and application verification site in Kaohsiung demonstrates strong confidence in the city's tech industry development prospects. At the Pier 3 base, the company will assist the city government in promoting applications such as smart MRT, port logistics fleet safety protection, drone inspections, and concert crowd management.
Zangshi Technology General Manager Ren Nian-xian stated that the company will continue to deepen cooperation with the Kaohsiung City Government in smart port areas, disaster response, AI inspections, spatial data integration, and drone application development, promoting Taiwan's 3D GIS and unmanned vehicle technology.
The signing ceremony was held today by Economic Development Bureau Director General Liao Tai-hsiang with the three companies, with Mayor Chen serving as witness. Director Liao said that since its launch in December last year, PIER F Pier 3 warehouse has attracted companies such as ASpeed Technology, Chunghwa Telecom, and partners of the Smart Kaohsiung Lighthouse Project. In less than half a year, the overall occupancy rate has exceeded 50%, demonstrating market recognition of Kaohsiung's port area revitalization and technology industry spatial planning.
