New Taipei City was created in 2010 from 29 districts surrounding Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. In just five decades, that nation grew from a producer of low-cost ceramics and electronics into a technology leader whose companies produce most of the world’s semiconductors, mobile phones and computer motherboards. That success demanded a relentless focus on upskilling workers and training new ones – and New Taipei City has done its part for the benefit not only of its companies but of its 4 million people as well.
