Executive Summary
Construction of Taiwan's Hsinchu Biomedical Science Park is due to commence imminently. According to the department of investment services, basic facilities will be ready by June 2007, with completion scheduled for 2008-09. Planned as a major centre of R&D, industry and academia link-ups and with a functional high-tech medical centre, the park is part of Taiwan's economic reconstruction plan. The government has pledged NT$20bn (US$607m) to the project over the next five years, which it hopes will attract the interest of public and private organisations.
