Semicon Taiwan, an annual international semiconductor exhibition, would bring leaders from the world’s top technology firms to Taipei this year, the event organizer said.
The CEO Summit is to feature nine global leaders from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), ASE Technology Holding Co (ASE, 日月光投控), Applied Materials Inc, Google, Samsung Electronics Co, SK Hynix Inc, Microsoft Corp, Interuniversity Microelectronic Centre and Marvell Technology Group Ltd, SEMI said in a news release last week.
The top executives would delve into how semiconductors are positioned as the driving force behind global technological innovation amid the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, the organizer said.

Among them, Samsung Electronics memory business head Lee Jung-bae and SK Hynix president Justin Kim are to deliver keynote speeches during the summit’s opening on Wednesday.
Lee would share his perspectives on the memory business in his keynote titled “Leaping Into the Future Through Memory Technology Innovation,” while Kim would discuss the AI memory trend, the organizer said.
This year’s event would also feature an AI Chip Fireside Chat, which would focus on semiconductor technology, cross-industry collaboration and future industry dynamics.
The discussions, which would be moderated by ASE chief operating officer Tien Wu (吳田玉) with TSMC, Samsung and Google executives participating, would include how semiconductors are driving global economic growth through AI, as well as the technical challenges and opportunities in chips, algorithms, memory, software, bandwidth, power consumption and system integration, it added.
The forums would feature more than 200 global semiconductor industry leaders, the organizer said.
The organizers expect the gathering to connect experts across various fields to explore how semiconductors would be the driving force behind global technological innovation in the era of AI.
Semicon Taiwan would feature 3,700 booths from more than 1,100 exhibitors from home and abroad, as well as more than 20 international forums, the organizer said.
Twelve countries, including Germany, the UK and the Czech Republic, plan to set up special pavilions at this year’s event, it said, adding that the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) would also set up a US pavilion for the first time this year.
The annual event is to take place from Wednesday to Friday at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center’s halls 1 and 2. It is expected to attract more than 85,000 visitors, the organizer said.
Intel Corp chief executive officer Lip-Bu Tan (陳立武) is expected to meet with Taiwanese suppliers next month in conjunction with the opening of the Computex Taipei trade show, supply chain sources said on Monday. The visit, the first for Tan to Taiwan since assuming his new post last month, would be aimed at enhancing Intel’s ties with suppliers in Taiwan as he attempts to help turn around the struggling US chipmaker, the sources said. Tan is to hold a banquet to celebrate Intel’s 40-year presence in Taiwan before Computex opens on May 20 and invite dozens of Taiwanese suppliers to exchange views
Application-specific integrated circuit designer Faraday Technology Corp (智原) yesterday said that although revenue this quarter would decline 30 percent from last quarter, it retained its full-year forecast of revenue growth of 100 percent. The company attributed the quarterly drop to a slowdown in customers’ production of chips using Faraday’s advanced packaging technology. The company is still confident about its revenue growth this year, given its strong “design-win” — or the projects it won to help customers design their chips, Faraday president Steve Wang (王國雍) told an online earnings conference. “The design-win this year is better than we expected. We believe we will win
Chizuko Kimura has become the first female sushi chef in the world to win a Michelin star, fulfilling a promise she made to her dying husband to continue his legacy. The 54-year-old Japanese chef regained the Michelin star her late husband, Shunei Kimura, won three years ago for their Sushi Shunei restaurant in Paris. For Shunei Kimura, the star was a dream come true. However, the joy was short-lived. He died from cancer just three months later in June 2022. He was 65. The following year, the restaurant in the heart of Montmartre lost its star rating. Chizuko Kimura insisted that the new star is still down
While China’s leaders use their economic and political might to fight US President Donald Trump’s trade war “to the end,” its army of social media soldiers are embarking on a more humorous campaign online. Trump’s tariff blitz has seen Washington and Beijing impose eye-watering duties on imports from the other, fanning a standoff between the economic superpowers that has sparked global recession fears and sent markets into a tailspin. Trump says his policy is a response to years of being “ripped off” by other countries and aims to bring manufacturing to the US, forcing companies to employ US workers. However, China’s online warriors
