As Taiwan bid farewell to its once glorious manufacturing industry, the service industry had since become the strength and heart of Taiwan’s economy. Although the service industry had became the primary economy sector in Taiwan, the growth has become stagnant; therefore, the objective of this research is to focus on how to innovate and develop business districts through the combination of local culture and technology in hopes of adding additional benefit to the existing industry. In terms of ensuring the success of a business district, effective leadership of non-profit organizations, establishing appropriate departments and projects within the organization, creating its own brand, and running effectual marketing campaigns could all contribute towards the increase of funding and attracting young talents. With the participation of young talents, individuals who are passionate about the matter, enthusiast locals, and devoted business owners, business districts and organizations would only come up with new ideas but also thrive in this environment
