National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) has established a tripartite collaboration platform among academia, industry, and local government to address challenges in local governance and integrate ESG initiatives within the Hsinchu Science Park. Centered on the concept of "Technological and Social Symbiosis," this platform aims to: (1) invite enterprises to participate in ESG projects to support urban-rural development, and (2) integrate governmental resources through ESG initiatives while securing additional support from central authorities to enhance governance efficiency.

This initiative not only focuses on improving urban-rural environments but also extends to talent development, technological innovation strategies within enterprises, and the adaptation challenges faced by technology immigrants. NTHU’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Professor Lin Fu-Jen, and Director of the Regional Innovation Center, Assistant Professor Lee Tian-Chien, previously served as advisors for the Hsinchu Science Park’s X-Base Project, advocating an innovation-driven transformation model that integrates software and hardware. They emphasized that the cultivation of technology talent should go beyond technical expertise to include cultural literacy and lived experiences, fostering greater social awareness and breakthrough innovation potential. However, many professionals working in the science park come from across Taiwan and around the world, resulting in weak local connections. Additionally, the high-pressure work environment has led to increasing mental and physical health concerns.

To address these issues, it is essential to integrate Hsinchu’s diverse cultural and lifestyle resources, providing ample recreational spaces to strengthen the connection between science park employees and the local community, history, and environment. This would enhance their well-being while fostering sustainable industrial governance. In a survey conducted by NTHU’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences in May 2024, results revealed that a significant portion of science park employees had a low perception of Hsinchu’s food, entertainment, and overall sense of belonging, highlighting a lack of interaction and familiarity with the city. These findings underscore the broader social and environmental impacts of science park development on urban-rural dynamics. Moving forward, policies should prioritize human values, environmental protection, and labor rights.

Extending from its USR (University Social Responsibility) initiatives to ESG, NTHU is collaborating with businesses and local governments to co-create a "Hsinchu Experience" that embodies technological and social symbiosis. This initiative serves as a guiding framework for science park policy transformation, with the ultimate goal of becoming a key reference for Taiwan’s sustainable development.
