Semicon Taiwan, the largest annual semiconductor trade show in Taiwan, would showcase innovations in smart manufacturing, advanced process technology and green manufacturing, while offering online access for the first time, event organizers said on Wednesday.
This year’s event, to be held from Sept. 23 to 25 in Taipei, would feature 13 theme pavilions and 19 international seminars, including a smart manufacturing pavilion and a strategic materials conference, said SEMI, an association that represents the global semiconductor sector.

One of the event’s highlights is a Master Forum featuring leaders in the tech sector who will discuss how semiconductors are supporting 5G and artificial intelligence technologies, and how those technologies are helping the semiconductor sector stay competitive, SEMI said.

READY TO BUY: Shortly after Nvidia announced the approval, Chinese firms scrambled to order the H20 GPUs, which the company must send to the US government for approval Nvidia Corp chief executive officer Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) late on Monday said the technology giant has won approval from US President Donald Trump’s administration to sell its advanced H20 graphics processing units (GPUs) used to develop artificial intelligence (AI) to China. The news came in a company blog post late on Monday and Huang also spoke about the coup on China’s state-run China Global Television Network in remarks shown on X. “The US government has assured Nvidia that licenses will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon,” the post said. “Today, I’m announcing that the US government has approved for us
