Bolster incubation resources to strengthen
2
innovation and application capacity

The rise of IoT technologies in recent years has given birth to multiple
innovative applications. To accelerate the development of the emerging
application markets in the industry, the Industrial Development Bureau of the
Ministry of Economic Affairs set up incubation centers in Nangang in Taipei and
Qianzhen in Kaohsiung to cultivate teams/companies that specialize in emerging
applications in the semiconductor and smart IoT industries. The government used
advertisement and promotion campaigns in Taiwan and abroad to attract startup
companies/teams with potential to set up offices. It provides incubation resources
including space, talents, funding, technical environment and structure, market,
and finance/legal counseling necessary in all stages of the growth of companies
from start-up, establishment, and expansion to maturity. It helps companies pass
operation bottlenecks and strengthen innovative and entrepreneurial capacity.
It also fosters cooperation between incubation companies and local operators.
It directs the capacity of the incubation teams to power the upgrade and
transformation of local industries.

Development of key sensor technologies
3
for the IoT in niche markets

The IoT framework consists of a sensor layer, network layer, and
application layer. Sensor technologies in the sensor layer play a crucial role, not
only involving the integration of hardware sensor components/circuit design and
integration, but also software technologies for integrating multiple sensor signals
and special algorithms for integrating AI/edge computing. Foreign companies
that invest in Taiwan can invest in optical/3D vision sensors, biomedical sensors,
or gas sensors for environmental/food safety. They can partner with smart
vehicle and smart manufacturing test sites in Taiwan to jointly develop key
sensor technologies that meet demands particular to Taiwan/Asia's market.
