Taiwan lifts 2027 tech budget, studies new TTA site in BSTP

Taiwan's Executive Yuan approved a larger 2027 technology budget of NT$229.2 billion (approx. US$7.2 billion), an increase of NT$25.9 billion from 2026, as the government also raised funding for the Ten Major AI Infrastructure Projects to NT$40.6 billion. The move came as Premier Cho said Taiwan Tech Arena (TTA) needs more space and asked the National Science and Technology Council to study a new TTA location in Beitou-Shilin Technology Park (BSTP).
