Subject to the terms and conditions of the commercial arrangement applicable to the CTSP Location, it is being planned to be operated in a similar manner to the locations in the other two science parks.

The CTSP was founded in 2003 and is located in the center of Taiwan . It has become an important area for concentrated high-tech companies and consists of Taichung Park, Huwei Park, Houli Park, Erlin Park and Chung Hsing Park , covering a total area of 1,486 hectares. ¹ The CTSP has developed quickly to become a major technology hub in Taiwan . By the end of December 2021 , 233 companies, nine incubation centers and five research units had been approved for residency at CTSP. Over NT$2.287 trillion has been invested in the CTSP with over 150 companies in operation resulting in approximately 52,000 jobs. ¹ Some of the most notable companies with offices in the CTSP are Micron Technology, TSMC, AUO Corporation and Largan Precision Co.
