Looking at the current configuration of ports and international airports, manufacturers (including high-tech firms) from Taipei to Hsinchu can be expected to use the future Taipei Harbor as well as Keelung Harbor and Chiang Kai-Shek International Airport, forming a northern Taiwan economic nucleus encompassing R & D, manufacturing, and distribution.
