The Taiwanese government identified four key research priorities to ensure continued dominance in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. This initiative aims to foster deeper collaboration between academia and industry.
The strategy leverages existing national strengths in chip production. The government designed the focus specifically to maintain Taiwan's technological edge and support the long-term growth of this critical industry.
TSMC, the industry's anchor, is central to the strategy. Its global R&D headquarters, located in Hsinchu, employs over 10,000 researchers.
