The Kaohsiung Bay Area 2.0 Smart Technology Innovation Park Promotion Program covers a total area of approximately 43 hectares, representing a strategic upgrade of Kaohsiung’s existing achievements in 5G AIoT development. In response to the global 5G Internet of Things market, projected to reach USD 297.1 billion by 2030, the city aims to position the Kaohsiung Bay Area as a globally competitive industrial cluster and a key forward base for Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy.
Located within this innovation park, the Y15 Joint Development Project possesses strong potential for international exchange. By introducing forward-looking industries—AI, AR, Web 3.0, Internet of Vehicles, cloud computing, electric vehicles, and digital health—the project leverages the MRT joint development mechanism to move beyond merely providing space for industrial settlement. Instead, it constructs a comprehensive environment that supports R&D, employment, and daily life simultaneously.
Through connectivity and direct integration with the MRT station, Y15 transforms transportation infrastructure into a component of industrial efficiency. The project demonstrates how Kaohsiung advances from a heavy-industry-oriented city toward a smart technology platform with global output capacity, aligning Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) with industrial policy in parallel.
