Bai Ding Technology (佰鼎科技), part of Zhen Ding Group (臻鼎集團), will invest NT$80 billion to build a smart FCBGA substrate production base at the Southern Taiwan Science Park Kaohsiung Park (南科高雄園區).

The NT$20 billion project aims to bring AI, IoT temperature control, and cloud monitoring into everyday food logistics, with completion expected in 2028.
