Czech Minister for Science and Research Marek Zenisek is visiting Taiwan to launch the Czech Pavilion at the Semicon Taiwan trade show, which will be held from tomorrow to Friday in Taipei.
Zenisek will open the pavilion at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, the Czech Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei said in a statement yesterday.
This year’s Czech Pavilion will feature representatives from business and academia in the semiconductor sector, the office said.

Exhibitors include ADVACAM, Brno University of Technology, Charles University, the Czech National Semiconductor Cluster, DCT Czech, HiLASE Centre, Meopta, SVCS Process Innovation, UNITES Systems, Vakuum Servis, and CzechInvest, it added.
The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) yesterday confirmed that Zenisek had arrived and met with NSTC Minister Wu Cheng-wen (吳誠文) on Friday.
The two discussed ongoing cooperation in advanced chips, including the Advanced Chip Design and Research Center in Brno, the council said in a separate statement.
Zenisek and his delegation are also scheduled to visit Hsinchu Science Park (新竹科學園區) to learn from Taiwan’s experience in developing high-tech industry clusters.
Other stops include the Industrial Technology Research Institute, the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center, the National Center for Instrumentation Research, and the Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute, all located in Hsinchu, the council said.
Czech media reported that this marks the first visit to Taiwan by a minister-level official from a Central European country, despite the lack of formal diplomatic relations.
With this year’s Semicon Taiwan trade show set to kick off on Wednesday, market attention has turned to the mass production of advanced packaging technologies and capacity expansion in Taiwan and the US. With traditional scaling reaching physical limits, heterogeneous integration and packaging technologies have emerged as key solutions. Surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC) and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips has put technologies such as chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS), integrated fan-out (InFO), system on integrated chips (SoIC), 3D IC and fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) at the center of semiconductor innovation, making them a major focus at this year’s trade show, according
DEBUT: The trade show is to feature 17 national pavilions, a new high for the event, including from Canada, Costa Rica, Lithuania, Sweden and Vietnam for the first time The Semicon Taiwan trade show, which opens on Wednesday, is expected to see a new high in the number of exhibitors and visitors from around the world, said its organizer, SEMI, which has described the annual event as the “Olympics of the semiconductor industry.” SEMI, which represents companies in the electronics manufacturing and design supply chain, and touts the annual exhibition as the most influential semiconductor trade show in the world, said more than 1,200 enterprises from 56 countries are to showcase their innovations across more than 4,100 booths, and that the event could attract 100,000 visitors. This year’s event features 17
EXPORT GROWTH: The AI boom has shortened chip cycles to just one year, putting pressure on chipmakers to accelerate development and expand packaging capacity Developing a localized supply chain for advanced packaging equipment is critical for keeping pace with customers’ increasingly shrinking time-to-market cycles for new artificial intelligence (AI) chips, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) said yesterday. Spurred on by the AI revolution, customers are accelerating product upgrades to nearly every year, compared with the two to three-year development cadence in the past, TSMC vice president of advanced packaging technology and service Jun He (何軍) said at a 3D IC Global Summit organized by SEMI in Taipei. These shortened cycles put heavy pressure on chipmakers, as the entire process — from chip design to mass
Germany is to establish its first-ever national pavilion at Semicon Taiwan, which starts tomorrow in Taipei, as the country looks to raise its profile and deepen semiconductor ties with Taiwan as global chip demand accelerates. Martin Mayer, a semiconductor investment expert at Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), Germany’s international economic promotion agency, said before leaving for Taiwan that the nation is a crucial partner in developing Germany’s semiconductor ecosystem. Germany’s debut at the international semiconductor exhibition in Taipei aims to “show presence” and signal its commitment to semiconductors, while building trust with Taiwanese companies, government and industry associations, he said. “The best outcome
