[Industrial] Hon Hai's Cloud Technology Center to Break Ground in Mid-August (Chinese Version)

CNA - Focus Taiwan (2012/07/27) A cloud technology development center established by Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., the world's largest contract electronics maker, is scheduled to break ground in southern Taiwan in mid-August, an economics official said July 27.

Wen-guu HUANG, Director of the Export Processing Zone Administration under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, said the construction of the cloud technology base, which will be located in the Kaohsiung Software Technology Park, is expected to be completed in June 2015, and the investment is expected to create 3,000 new jobs.

In fact, Hon Hai Precision held a job fair in Kaohsiung earlier this month, hiring several hundred software engineers, especially for the software investment project.

The administration is in charge of developing and managing the software park, which currently houses more than 100 software related companies, aiming to cultivate the local software industry.

Hon Hai Precision confirmed the investment project, saying it will invest NT$1.9 billion (US$63 million) to construct two buildings in the software park, one to be a software development center and the other to be a cloud-based data center.

Hon Hai Precision is one of many local electronics related manufacturers which aim to tap the growing cloud technology business in an attempt to offset the impact from a down cycle in the hardware sector.
