The CTSP Location is consistent with JustKitchen's current focus on strengthening corporate client relationships and pursuing opportunities that maximize operating margins with minimal upfront capital costs. It is expected to enable the Company to also leverage the strongest proprietary and partner food brands from its portfolio and continue to deploy its JKOS platform in new ways. Subject to the terms and conditions of the commercial arrangement applicable to the CTSP Location, it is being planned to be operated in a similar manner to the locations in the other two science parks.

The CTSP was founded in 2003 and is located in the center of Taiwan. It has become an important area for concentrated high-tech companies and consists of Taichung Park, Huwei Park, Houli Park, Erlin Park and Chung Hsing Park, covering a total area of 1,486 hectares.1 The CTSP has developed quickly to become a major technology hub in Taiwan. By the end of December 2021, 233 companies, nine incubation centers and five research units had been approved for residency at CTSP. Over NT$2.287 trillion has been invested in the CTSP with over 150 companies in operation resulting in approximately 52,000 jobs.1 Some of the most notable companies with offices in the CTSP are Micron Technology, TSMC, AUO Corporation and Largan Precision Co.
