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.
IN THE AIR: While most companies said they were committed to North American operations, some added that production and costs would depend on the outcome of a US trade probe Leading local contract electronics makers Wistron Corp (緯創), Quanta Computer Inc (廣達), Inventec Corp (英業達) and Compal Electronics Inc (仁寶) are to maintain their North American expansion plans, despite Washington’s 20 percent tariff on Taiwanese goods. Wistron said it has long maintained a presence in the US, while distributing production across Taiwan, North America, Southeast Asia and Europe. The company is in talks with customers to align capacity with their site preferences, a company official told the Taipei Times by telephone on Friday. The company is still in talks with clients over who would bear the tariff costs, with the outcome pending further
A proposed 100 percent tariff on chip imports announced by US President Donald Trump could shift more of Taiwan’s semiconductor production overseas, a Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER) researcher said yesterday. Trump’s tariff policy will accelerate the global semiconductor industry’s pace to establish roots in the US, leading to higher supply chain costs and ultimately raising prices of consumer electronics and creating uncertainty for future market demand, Arisa Liu (劉佩真) at the institute’s Taiwan Industry Economics Database said in a telephone interview. Trump’s move signals his intention to "restore the glory of the US semiconductor industry," Liu noted, saying that
STILL UNCLEAR: Several aspects of the policy still need to be clarified, such as whether the exemptions would expand to related products, PwC Taiwan warned The TAIEX surged yesterday, led by gains in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), after US President Donald Trump announced a sweeping 100 percent tariff on imported semiconductors — while exempting companies operating or building plants in the US, which includes TSMC. The benchmark index jumped 556.41 points, or 2.37 percent, to close at 24,003.77, breaching the 24,000-point level and hitting its highest close this year, Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) data showed. TSMC rose NT$55, or 4.89 percent, to close at a record NT$1,180, as the company is already investing heavily in a multibillion-dollar plant in Arizona that led investors to assume
AI: Softbank’s stake increases in Nvidia and TSMC reflect Masayoshi Son’s effort to gain a foothold in key nodes of the AI value chain, from chip design to data infrastructure Softbank Group Corp is building up stakes in Nvidia Corp and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), the latest reflection of founder Masayoshi Son’s focus on the tools and hardware underpinning artificial intelligence (AI). The Japanese technology investor raised its stake in Nvidia to about US$3 billion by the end of March, up from US$1 billion in the prior quarter, regulatory filings showed. It bought about US$330 million worth of TSMC shares and US$170 million in Oracle Corp, they showed. Softbank’s signature Vision Fund has also monetized almost US$2 billion of public and private assets in the first half of this year,
