Smart City and Internet of Things Workshop at Stanford University - Deputy Mayor Wang: Silicon Valley experience to be employed to convert Taoyuan into Taiwan’s next-generation industrial center
Deputy Mayor of Taoyuan City, Wang Ming-Teh led a team of delegates to visit San Francisco, San Jose, and San Bernardino in California, United States, from April 26th to May 2nd to look for potential US suppliers and engage in an exchange between city administrators. While attending the “Smart City and IoT Workshop” held at the Leland Stanford Junior University on April 27th with a team of representatives, Deputy Mayor Wang described the extensive history of Stanford University and academic spirit of creativity that led to the development and prosperity of the Silicon Valley. When promoting industrial development in the future, Taoyuan may learn from the experiences of the Silicon Valley in “using culture to change the environment.”
Deputy Mayor Wang said that since its founding in 1891, Stanford University began supporting the educational vision of entrepreneurship as led by Dean of Student Affairs Frederick Emmons Terman during the 1930s. This revolutionized not only the campus culture of Stanford University, but also subsequent development of the Silicon Valley. The “Regional Advantage - Culture and Competition in Silicon Valley and Route 128” authored by AnnaLee Saxenian highlighted the development of high tech industries in the “San Francisco area, Silicon Valley” as well as the areas around “Route 128 in Boston.” In these places, the entrepreneurship and innovative visions of pioneers arriving at Silicon Valley brought the advantages during development, transforming the region into the prosperous Silicon Valley we see today. The book thus pointed out to the possibility of “using culture to change the environment.”
Deputy Mayor Wang also described the well-developed industry and commerce in Taoyuan City. Qingpu Special District is also blessed with large tracts of land, giving it the potential to become the industrial center of the next generation. When developing the Aerotropolis Projects, Smart City, or Creative Center and Park, the Silicon Valley experience can be referred by Qingpu urban planners to improve cultural elements and attract professional talents to the area. Deputy Mayor Wang added that centers of industrial development in Taiwan include the Hsinchu Science Park, Nankang Economic and Trade Park, and innovative tech industries being promoted currently (such as the Internet and creative bases). These centers will help drive the development of future industries.
Deputy Mayor Wang also mentioned that Taoyuan delegates would be conducting a sister city exchange at San Bernardino this afternoon. San Bernardino is the largest county in the United States and has a population of nearly 2 million people, comparable to that of Taoyuan City. Sister city exchanges will not only improve the friendship between the cities, but also enhan
