As an important key, the city government must have specific measures in land planning, environmental protection management, industrial upgrading and educational cooperation, and instruct the Smart Urban and Rural Development Committee to form a Taozhumiao Greater Silicon Valley project promotion team to integrate relevant bureau resources to promote this plan We hope to maintain positive interactions with the central government.
Mayor Zhang pointed out that after the central government released the Greater Silicon Valley plan, the Municipal Urban Development Bureau immediately carried out space preparations for the existing plan and promoted industrial connections with the Economic Development Bureau. In the future, land for new science parks or industrial zones will require land.

The mayor also reminded that while the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) industry brings economic benefits, it also creates a large environmental burden. The Environmental Protection Bureau must require the sewage treatment facilities in industrial zones and science parks to comply with emission standards, and suggest economic The Ministry of Finance subsidizes the PCB industry to improve production equipment to reduce environmental burdens.
The Economic Development Bureau stated that as the global AI output value increases year by year, Taiwan's AIoT output value will reach 2 trillion yuan, driving the development of the electronics industry. Taiwan's circuit board industry reported an output value of approximately US$22.547 billion in 2012, accounting for 32.4% of the world's total. Among them, the number of PCB companies in Taoyuan accounted for 64% of Taiwan's total, ranking first in the country. These data show Taoyuan's key role and development potential in the high-tech industry. In line with the future Taozhumiao Silicon Valley promotion plan, the city's industrial zone, Longke Phase III, and Aviation City will continue to develop, and the demand for water and electricity will increase. Hydropower infrastructure will be deployed in advance to cope with this.
