Ingrasys Technology Inc (鴻佰科技), a company under the corporate umbrella of Hon Hai Technology Group (鴻海科技集團), has teamed up with Israel’s Ramon.Space to produce devices for computing in outer space.
Under the deal, Ingrasys, a server, storage and high-performance computing (HPC) accelerator development specialist, would develop and manufacture Ramon.Space’s high-volume space computing products for sale around the world, Hon Hai said in a statement on Tuesday last week.
The partnership would result in a production line for the industry’s first high-volume products for computing in space, and combine Ingrasys’ manufacturing strength and the Israeli company’s space technology capabilities, the statement said.

Ingrasys has an AS9100 certification, the gold standard for quality and safety management in the aerospace industry, and the production line is preparing to start manufacturing the outer space computing devices, hon Hai said.
Ramon.Space’s radiation-hardened computing platform has low power requirements and durable design, which provides process, storage and connectivity capabilities, said Hon Hai, known globally as Foxconn Technology Group (富士康科技集團).
It can design devices equipped with artificial intelligence and machine-learning capabilities, paving the way to produce space computing products, Hon Hai said.
“As the trusted leader in computing infrastructure in the terrestrial world, venturing into space computing infrastructure would be another area for us to expand as we continue to see the tremendous potential in space,” Ingrasys CEO Benjamin Ting (丁肇邦) said in the statement.
“We are excited to collaborate with Ramon.Space, the market leader, to pioneer the next phase of the space industry and make space computing accessible to everyone,” Ting said.
Ingrasys’ direct parent, Foxconn Industrial Internet Co (FII, 富士康工業互聯網), a Shanghai-listed provider of intelligent manufacturing integration solutions, has entered the space computing business and is in talks with two potential clients, an industry source said.
The source said that FII has a space-computing research and development team of 300 staffers based in Taiwan, and is scheduled to launch spacecomputing servers in 18 to 24 months to meet growing demand for micro-data centers for use in outer space.
SEEKING CLARITY: Washington should not adopt measures that create uncertainties for ‘existing semiconductor investments,’ TSMC said referring to its US$165 billion in the US Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) told the US that any future tariffs on Taiwanese semiconductors could reduce demand for chips and derail its pledge to increase its investment in Arizona. “New import restrictions could jeopardize current US leadership in the competitive technology industry and create uncertainties for many committed semiconductor capital projects in the US, including TSMC Arizona’s significant investment plan in Phoenix,” the chipmaker wrote in a letter to the US Department of Commerce. TSMC issued the warning in response to a solicitation for comments by the department on a possible tariff on semiconductor imports by US President Donald Trump’s
The government has launched a three-pronged strategy to attract local and international talent, aiming to position Taiwan as a new global hub following Nvidia Corp’s announcement that it has chosen Taipei as the site of its Taiwan headquarters. Nvidia cofounder and CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) on Monday last week announced during his keynote speech at the Computex trade show in Taipei that the Nvidia Constellation, the company’s planned Taiwan headquarters, would be located in the Beitou-Shilin Technology Park (北投士林科技園區) in Taipei. Huang’s decision to establish a base in Taiwan is “primarily due to Taiwan’s talent pool and its strength in the semiconductor
Industrial production expanded 22.31 percent annually last month to 107.51, as increases in demand for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications drove demand for locally-made chips and components. The manufacturing production index climbed 23.68 percent year-on-year to 108.37, marking the 14th consecutive month of increase, the Ministry of Economic Affairs said. In the first four months of this year, industrial and manufacturing production indices expanded 14.31 percent and 15.22 percent year-on-year, ministry data showed. The growth momentum is to extend into this month, with the manufacturing production index expected to rise between 11 percent and 15.1 percent annually, Department of Statistics
An earnings report from semiconductor giant and artificial intelligence (AI) bellwether Nvidia Corp takes center stage for Wall Street this week, as stocks hit a speed bump of worries over US federal deficits driving up Treasury yields. US equities pulled back last week after a torrid rally, as investors turned their attention to tax and spending legislation poised to swell the US government’s US$36 trillion in debt. Long-dated US Treasury yields rose amid the fiscal worries, with the 30-year yield topping 5 percent and hitting its highest level since late 2023. Stocks were dealt another blow on Friday when US President Donald
