The Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIP) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) held an inauguration and oath-taking ceremony for BIP’s new Director General on March 26. The ceremony was presided over by MOEA Vice Minister Chien-Hsin Lai, during which outgoing Acting Director General Chi-Chuan Liu handed over the official seal to incoming Director General Chih-Ching Yang. Director General Yang will continue to lead efforts in upgrading and transforming technology industrial parks and industrial parks, with a strong focus on sustainable operations and effective management.
Director General Yang holds a master’s degree in business administration from the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. He began his public service career at the grassroots level in industrial services. He has served as Division Director and Deputy Director General of the Industrial Development Bureau, Chief Secretary of the MOEA, and most recently as Director-General of the Industrial Development Administration. Known for his solid academic background, strong execution skills, and proactive leadership, Director General Yang has led the Industrial Development Administration team of MOEA’s renowned “steel battalion” in advancing key initiatives such as amendments to the Industrial Innovation Act, industrial value enhancement, medical supply preparedness during the pandemic, and the dual transformation toward smart and low-carbon development. He is widely recognized in the industry as a key force in promoting sustainable park development.
The Bureau of Industrial Parks oversees 80 parks across Taiwan. Vice Minister Lai encouraged the bureau to continue pursuing three major tasks: providing high-quality industrial spaces to support the “Five Trusted Industries”; advancing the “Extraterritorial Equivalent to Domestic” policy to expand Taiwan’s industrial reach; and implementing the “Balanced Taiwan” strategy to deepen local industrial clusters, thereby accelerating economic policy implementation.
Director General Yang stated that building on existing foundations, he will drive optimization and innovation in park development through three core visions:
• Smart – Promoting AI integration across industries
• Safe – Creating secure and high-quality investment environments
• Sustainable – Developing low-carbon, green, and sustainable parks
He emphasized the importance of public-private collaboration, listening to industry voices, and leveraging government support resources to create industrial bases aligned with the needs of emerging technologies. These efforts aim to accelerate industrial development and ensure the long-term sustainability of the parks.
