How will the Baipu Industrial Park development affect Chen Chi-mai?

Mayor Chen Chi-mai's administration gains praise for driving major economic park development. The Baipu Industrial Park, a collaboration between the Kaohsiung City Government and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, is expected to generate NT$300 billion in annual output and create over 4,000 jobs. President William Lai praised the Kaohsiung City Government for completing environmental impact assessments and promoting investment in the park within three years. The park is designed to link advanced-process manufacturing in Nanzih District with packaging and testing in Renwu District.

Why it matters

For Mayor Chen Chi-mai's administration, the successful launch of the Baipu Industrial Park validates their ability to drive major economic development and attract critical investment. The park is designed to fill a crucial gap in southern Taiwan’s semiconductor ecosystem, positioning the region as a resilient S-corridor for technology.

This development also provides opportunities for traditional industries in districts like Gangshan and Lujhu to enter the high-value-added semiconductor supply chain. The project is supported by infrastructure commitments, including stable power supply from Taiwan Power Co and the “pearl chain” water project.
