Taoyuan City Government signed a memorandum of cooperation with five companies—Qisda, Jin An Machinery, Shinkong Synthetic Fibers, Auden Techno and Evergreen Aviation Technologies—plus the Taiwan Drone Alliance to advance the smart unmanned vehicle sector.
The collaboration includes building the 11.4-hectare Shinkong Innov HUB campus in Yangmei District, with the first-phase flight-test site and related facilities planned to be completed by May 2027.
The project aims to provide space for startups, R&D test flights, and testing and certification as part of Taoyuan’s push to develop a complete industrial chain for unmanned vehicles from prototyping to mass production.
Taoyuan Mayor Chang Shan-cheng highlighted the city’s manufacturing clustering and system integration strengths and intends to connect upstream, midstream, and downstream players to capitalize on opportunities in the low-altitude economy.
The initiative involves collaboration with Shinkong Synthetic Fibers on the development of the campus, positioning Taoyuan to host a major drone test site within a broader smart unmanned vehicle ecosystem.
