TSMC EFFECT:Southern Taiwan Science Park’s revenue topped NT$2tn for the first time, spurred by a higher sales contribution by semiconductor firms led by TSMC

The nation’s three major science parks posted record combined revenue of NT$4.76 trillion (US$144.41 billion) for last year, up 20.73 percent year-on-year, the National Science and Technology Council said in a report yesterday.

The council attributed the strong performance to rising demand for emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the end of inventory adjustments throughout the global 

semiconductor supply chain, the report said.

Combined revenue of firms at Hsinchu Science Park (新竹科學園區) increased 6.66 percent annually to NT$1.51 trillion, Central Taiwan Science Park (中部科學園區) posted revenue growth of 

10.22 percent to NT$1.04 trillion and Southern Taiwan Science Park (南部科學園區) grew 39.55 percent to NT$2.21 trillion, the council said.
