Microsoft Establishes Innovation Center in Nangang, Taiwan

Taipei, June 25, 2008 (CENS)--Microsoft, the world`s largest software developer, recently announced the establishment of a Microsoft Innovation Center at the Nangang Software Park in Taipei to help reinforce Taiwan`s software R&D capability, and spur the development of innovative Internet applications for Taiwan`s information and communication technology (ICT) industry.

Such a move helps to realize the Taiwan government`s industry restructuring policy encouraging industry innovations, Microsoft said. The new center is expected to help Taiwan tap into global innovation and R&D resources and enhance the island`s position among many nations that pursues strategic global deployment.

According to the software giant, the Microsoft Innovation Center aims at the integration of -- and sharing between -- local and overseas technology professionals, technologies, and resources to help industry partners take roots in the R&D for next-generation Web applications and software engineering to strengthen the Taiwan ICT industry.

Moreover, the center is also expected to help Taiwan catch up with software and hardware developments in industrialized countries, helping Taiwan build a pivotal role in global economy.

Nigel Burton, general manager, developer and platform evangelism of the Greater China Region, Microsoft Corp., participated in the center`s opening ceremony in Taiwan, stressing the strategic position of the Microsoft Innovation Center in the face of intensifying global competition because a new horizon is being created for IT industries in many places to enhance their global competitiveness.

In order to enable the Taiwan ICT`s strengths to keep abreast with future trends, pointed out Davis Tsai, general manager of Microsoft Taiwan, this Taiwan center would focus on software engineering and the next generation Web as two major R&D categories to bring in new technologies for web development as well as Microsoft`s years of R&D experience in software engineering, security development lifecycle, software test automation, and practices of trouble-shooting for customers to facilitate the implementation of Cloud Computing at our software and hardware partners for them to win the business of next generation Web.

"One of the foci of our industry restructuring policy is to encourage industry innovations by integrating the strengths of academia, business communities and the government to help the ICT industry reinforce global deployment as well as horizontal and vertical integration in Taiwan and overseas to transform Taiwan from a major manufacturer of hardware into a global IT leader," said Economic Minister Yiin Chii-ming. "This will further help develop Taiwan into a global innovation center, an economy and trade hub in Asia Pacific, and the operating center of Taiwan businesses."
