In Taiwan, traditional mechanics (referred to as Black Hands) would become “Gold Hands” if they were really successful. The establishment of Gold Hand Award is to encourage the spirit of innovation because the innovative R&D is where the industry's competitiveness lie. In order to build the Capital of Intelligent Machinery in Taichung, the local government has also implemented many supporting policies. For example, the building of Convention and Exhibition Center has won the support from the central government. The local government takes the land, talents, technology and capital into careful consideration, so as to promote industrial development. As a result, local middle and small-sized enterprises have formed an internationally competitive “Taichung Enterprise Team”.
