In order to boost investment, the Taiwan government has established not only generalpurpose commercial and industrial zones but also special-purpose zones that can meet changing business needs. At present there are 237 industrial parks, ten technology industrial parks, three science parks, three agricultural technology parks, four environmental science and technology parks, and seven free trade zones. All provide excellent, low-cost business environments. To develop an industrial park or other type of park, an environmental impact assessment is first conducted, allowing enterprises that occupy the park to reduce environmental protection costs. Such parks also provide ready-made basic infrastructure, fast and convenient administrative services, and incentive measures (see the Benefits and Incentives to Attract Investors section), and as a consequence they have become the first choice of location for foreign and domestic firms that are setting up factories, R&D centers, or operations headquarters in Taiwan.
