After more than a decade of collaborative efforts among government, academia, and industry, the seedling has grown into a robust and thriving tree. In this land of over a century's history in Chiayi, several corporate entities have diligently worked together for over ten years, resulting in the development of competitive industries in food, agriculture, manufacturing, forestry, and the silver economy. We hope to continue growing together in the next ten years.
