Browsing: Asia New Bay Area

Kaohsiung Port Cruise Terminal has unveiled a 15th-floor harbor-view space planned for a cafe, alongside an operations center linking port data around Taiwan.

Kaohsiung’s Asia New Bay Area is attracting banks and family-office services, but it is too soon to conclude that the financial push has already transformed the local property market.

Fu said that government purchases of drones and unmanned boats could give local metalworking and manufacturing companies a route into higher-value defense and aerospace supply chains.

The event is scheduled for July 24 at InterContinental Kaohsiung (高雄洲際酒店), according to the Taiwan Startup World Cup website. Organizers said the Kaohsiung event is part of a broader initiative to connect southern Taiwan’s startup teams with international investors, business leaders, accelerators, and entrepreneurship networks.

The redevelopment of Kaohsiung’s waterfront moves away from port-heavy industrial land use to a mixed waterfront district integrating corporate R&D, finance, culture, and public space; a 20-year transition, implemented in defined steps.
