Echoing Tong Zixian’s decision to set up a new town in Danhai AI Park, the manager said: “It is a good idea if it meets 5 conditions”

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan recently proposed relocating the aircraft to a new location. Pegatron chairman Tong Zixian expressed his opposition today (14th), believing that the capital should retain its aviation base and even suggested that the AI ​​park be relocated to Danhai New Town. Minister of Economic Affairs Gong Mingxin also responded on the 15th that it is difficult to reach a consensus on the relocation of loose machines in the short term. "It may still be discussed in the next 10 years." AI development cannot wait, but Danhai New Town has water, electricity, land, manpower, and transportation. He believes that it is indeed a good idea.

Regarding the relocation of Songshan Airport, Gong Mingxin said that because Songshan Airport has been discussing such an issue for the past 20 years, I personally think that "it may still be discussed in the next 10 years." He said that the opinions on loose machine are too scattered and it is very difficult to reach a consensus in a short time. But he emphasized that AI development cannot wait, and it cannot be pending (stagnant) at Songshan Airport just to wait for it. How is that possible?

He further pointed out that Danhai New Town is "already ready", especially after the Tamjiang Bridge is opened, it will soon be possible to reach Taipei Port, and a little further away is the airport. The speed makes the transportation very convenient. In addition, the Danhai New Town area is very complete. There is such a large and complete area in the northern area. To be honest, it is hard to find.

Gong Mingxin even added that the scenery is very beautiful, with mountains and seas. I think the conditions are really good. He mentioned that many industrial developments or companies need manpower, and many people have settled in the first phase of Danhai. After the second phase of development like Danhai, if manufacturers move in, it will be easy to find people in the human resources department. The whole direction seems quite appropriate. He thinks it should be a good idea.

However, the AI ​​park requires water and electricity. Gong Mingxin said that some inventory has been done for the water part. During the first phase of Tamjiang, Taiwan Water Company added a large water pipeline for the freshwater area; for the electricity part in the future, the Linkou Power Plant can pull a dedicated line, and for Taipei City, there is basically no excess electricity. If this substation is to be built, there will be a lot of controversy. Danhai New Town is basically more feasible as an AI park.
