Google has recently announced a new expansion of office space in Taiwan, specifically Banqiao District, New Taipei City.

The space will be in Taipei Far Eastern Telecom Park, about a 20-minute drive away from its offices in Taipei 101.

Google currently has 2,000 employees in the country and plans to hire several hundred more, with an emphasis on hiring more women, said Rick Osterloh, Google’s Senior Vice President of Hardware, during a press conference today.

The complex will also play an important role in Google’s Intelligent Taiwan project, which it announced in May 2018. Last year, the project trained about 5,000 students in AI technology and 50,000 digital marketers.

In the wake of Project Dragonfly, Google’s controversial project to build a censored version of its search engine for China, close attention will be paid to what the company does in Taiwan and its other hubs in Asia.
