Electronics maker Wistron Corporation has inked a land lease in Taipei’s Neihu District. With 60 years of rights over 6,000 square meters of land, the company will build a new headquarters to attract tech talent. It also plans to develop the area into a so-called "AI corridor."
At a signing ceremony, Wistron and the Taipei City government seal the deal on a lease for Wistron’s new Neihu headquarters.

In the future, Wistron and its subsidiary Wiwynn will generate 3,500 jobs, along with tremendous economic value estimated at NT$800 billion.
Wistron has taken out a 60-year lease in Neihu’s Tanmei area, for 6,407.79 square meters of land. It plans to build an “AI corridor” in Neihu, despite concerns over the power supply.
Emily Hong
Wiwynn Corp. chair
Whether there’s enough electricity has always been a huge concern. Laboratories consume a great deal of electricity. Actually, we have done extensive studies on the power supply. We were just discussing this issue with the city government. We will take part of our operations - the most power-hungry portion - to the Southern Taiwan Science Park.
Jeff Lin
Wistron Corp. president
We should be just fine. We filed our application with the city government very early on. We began preparing for the power supply issue very early on. We started our AI planning very early on. Very early on, we recognized that this was something important.
The AI wave is underway, and Wistron has positioned itself for the ride. A supplier to Nvidia, the company has already expanded to Mexico and Malaysia. It hopes to attract fresh tech talent with its new Neihu headquarters.
