Cyber Security & Smart Technology R&D Building
Tainan’s Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City forms part of the government's “5+2 Industrial Innovation Plan”, and possesses a complete R&D environment, with data security technology, smart transportation, smart health and smart living as its main development axis. Shalun Science City will establish a training academy and collaborative base for data security, along with a control base, a smart transportation simulation platform, and the Taiwan Tech Arena SOUTH (TTA SOUTH. Other spaces will attract manufacturers of the industry for undertaking co-creation and R&D with associates and other international manufacturers, pROViding complete one-stop and product verification services for resident manufacturers. Such service spaces will play a major role of incubating potential projects that will shape Taiwan’s vital cyber security and smart industry clusters.

New Southbound Policy Office
The New Southbound Project Office Subsidized by NSTC (Below: Project Office) was established in October, 2016. The preliminary tasks of the Project Office were to analyze the technology policies of New Southbound partner countries, assist NSTC in formulating policy and determine research issues of regional scientific importance. Subsequently, the Project Office continued to assist NSTC in tracking the effectiveness of NSP policies and engaging in bigger-picture tasks such as adjusting policy orientation to track the implementation of various initiatives, hosting seminars and other opportunities for exchange, and establishing scientific research platforms at home and abroad. The following are the NSP’s overarching objectives:
1. Compile and promote policy results.
2. Track the progress of NSP policies.
3. Analyze the research capabilities of NSP partner countries.
4. Perform NSTC tasks relevant to the NSP.
5. Perform administrative tasks for STICs.

Taiwan Science and Technology Office for Net-zero Emission (T-STONE)
In March 2023, the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China (Taiwan) appROVed the "Net-zero science and technology program (phase 1, 2023-2026)." This program establishes a developmental framework centered on five major technological domains: Sustainable and Foresight Energy, Low Carbon, Carbon Negative, Circularity, and Humanities and Social Sciences. By integrating resource allocation and injecting momentum into net-zero R&D, the program aims to accelerate the implementation of the nation’s net-zero policy objectives. In May of the same year, the Taiwan Science and Technology Office for Net-zero Emission (T-STONE) was established to facilitate the forward-looking strategic layout of the program.
T-STONE has convened experts and scholars from relevant fields to form expert groups across the five major technological domains. Working alongside think tank staff and key stakeholders, they have jointly formulated a composite promotion strategy. Based on a systematic and integrated approach to R&D strategic layout, the program seeks to realize the forward-looking deployment and practical application of net-zero technologies through cross-ministerial and cross-domain collaboration. These efforts are designed to accelerate the achievement of Taiwan's 2050 Net-Zero Transition goal.
