YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Aligning 22 local systems into services residents can use
- Taiwan’s 22 local governments, including six municipalities serving nearly 70% of residents, often deploy platforms separately, limiting interoperability and reuse.
- A common architecture and delivery roadmap help YCP align agencies, vendors and data standards, converting fragmented pilots into connected public services.
Making connected city data secure, usable and trusted
- Taiwan recorded an average of about 2.4 million cyberattacks a day in 2024, raising the stakes as sensors, cloud platforms and citizen data become more connected.
- Through security-by-design, data governance and risk prioritization, YCP helps cities protect critical systems while enabling responsible data sharing.
Designing inclusive services for a super-aged society
- Taiwan became a super-aged society in 2025, with over 20% of its population aged 65 or above, increasing demand for accessible, proactive urban services.
- Human-centered research and service design enable YCP to shape digital and physical solutions that work for older residents, caregivers and frontline teams.
Turning energy transition pressure into urban resilience
- Renewables supplied roughly 12% of Taiwan’s electricity in 2024, while EV charging, data centers and smart infrastructure are adding demand to local grids.
- Integrated energy strategies allow YCP to identify high-impact efficiency, storage and demand-management opportunities while strengthening service continuity.
