ITRI director Zhang Peiren led senior executives to visit the Asia Unmanned Aerial Vehicle AI Innovative Application R&D Center in Chiayi County, emphasizing the goal of integrating ITRI’s drone development成果 into industry, particularly to support small and medium-sized enterprises. The visit included Chiayi County Magistrate Weng Zhang-liang and representatives from the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology, companies in the Asia Innovation Center, and academia for discussions on international drone trends, domestic cluster development, and cross-sector cooperation.
Zhang highlighted the Taiwanese government's strong commitment to drone technology development, assigning ITRI significant responsibility for advancing drone modules and system technologies. He stressed the importance of embedding drone production capabilities within Taiwan to support industry application and SME development in the sector.
Magistrate Weng noted ITRI’s foundational role in Taiwan’s technology development, comparing its historical importance in chip development to its emerging role in drone technology as a national strategic industry. The dialogue was seen as valuable for future drone development, especially as Zhang Peiren hails from the local Chiayi area.
The Chiayi County Government’s Economic Development Department stated that the National Chung-Shan Institute is promoting the Minxiong Aerospace and Drone Industrial Park, which aims to become a key national manufacturing hub for drones. As production capacity grows, the demand for R&D, testing, and talent will increase, enhancing the Asia Innovation Center’s regional innovation role.
The county government plans to continue supporting the collaboration between central and local governments to link the R&D capabilities at the Asia Innovation Center, the manufacturing base at the Minxiong Aerospace Park, and the seaplane airport’s flight testing facilities. This integrated approach aims to establish Taiwan’s most comprehensive and operational drone industry corridor.
