The Shin Kong Group (Chinese: 新光集團; pinyin: Xīnguāng jítuán; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sin-kong Chi̍p-thôan) is a large enterprise group in Taiwan, the group traces its origin back to the establishment of the Shin Kong Store in 1945 by group founder Wu Ho-su. The Shin Kong Store was engaged in the trading of fabrics and the import and export of sugar and tea. Wu created the name "Shin Kong" from the first Chinese character in the name Hsinchu, the city where he was born, and the first character in the given name of his business benefactor Ogawa Mitsusada (小川光定).
