Taichung mayor doubles down on push for drone production
Posted on 2026-07-02 19:08:14
Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen is renewing her call to make central Taiwan the hub of the island's drone industry.
Lu says the region already has the manufacturing base, supply chain and skilled workforce needed to support drone development.
She is urging the central government to devote more resources to the region and formally establish a drone corridor in Taichung.
Deputy Legislative Speaker Johnny Chiang says central Taiwan's manufacturing strengths make it well placed to turn U-S artificial intelligence technology into commercial drone products.
Meanwhile, DPP lawmaker Ho Hsin-chun is again calling for the Executive Yuan's proposed 210 billion NT special budget for the drone industry, warning that relying on the regular annual budget could create funding uncertainty.
