Baipu park enters construction with testing and training facilities planned
Taiwan broke ground September 21 on the 88.7-hectare Baipu Industrial Park in Kaohsiung. TSMC plans a technology-validation laboratory and talent-training centre there, with operations expected in the fourth quarter of 2029. About 53.6 hectares—roughly 60% of the site—are designated for industrial use. The park is intended to help equipment and materials suppliers test advanced-packaging technologies near related development work; it is not a new commercial chip-production plant.
