four years. That was the word from Science Minister Chen Liang-gee on Wednesday.
Chen said the ministry plans to integrate resources in the Central and Southern Taiwan Science Parks to set up these bases.

I can try whatever material I want, and if it doesn’t work, I can change the [material] and test it again,” Chen said. “This [environment] shortens the learning process and creative feedback loop, making everything happen simultaneously. After testing is complete, [the maker] will be aware of how to put his product into service.”
