E.SUN Bank donates to establish “E.SUN Sustainability Hall” at National Taipei University. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on Tuesday and the ceremony was graced by the presence of Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) and world-renowned architect Tadao Ando, who shared his design philosophy.
They were joined by E.SUN founder Huang Yung-jen (黃永仁), chairman Joseph Huang (黃男州), former National Taipei University president Lee Chien-chia (李承嘉), current president Lin Daw-tung (林道通), as well as E.SUN executives, employees, and student representatives from the university, who all witnessed and offered their blessings for this important milestone.
The E.SUN Sustainability Hall is designed by the globally acclaimed Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Using the simple, natural material of exposed concrete, his design employs minimalist lines and geometric shapes, integrating natural elements like sunlight, water, and the surrounding forest. This approach creates a unique interplay of light and shadow, fostering a serene atmosphere.

Ando shared that within this rare campus environment, surrounded by greenery and a lake, the lecture hall was designed with a core spirit of “revering nature and loving people for a sustainable future.”
It is a space where wisdom from around the world can converge and be exchanged, jointly addressing the future of humanity and the Earth.
Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim stated in her remarks: “Sustainable development requires not only technological innovation and policy support, but also relies heavily on the cultivation of talent and the passing down of knowledge. I hope the E.SUN Sustainability Hall will become a vital hub for nurturing future sustainable talents, ensuring this knowledge and responsibility transcend generations. The green building and smart campus initiatives promoted jointly by the private sector and the government are highly aligned, and the connection with the education sector is key to the continuous proliferation of sustainable power. Together, we will work to protect Taiwan’s sustainable future with knowledge and action.”
National Taipei University has a long-standing commitment to talent cultivation and sustainable development, nurturing professionals in law, business, and humanities, while also actively responding to international sustainability trends by assisting the government and industries in their sustainable transition.
It is also an important academic-industry partner for E.SUN. Over the past year, both teams have been exchanging ideas for the Sustainability Hall.
The former president, Lee Chien-chia, was highly supportive and eagerly anticipated future collaborations on environmental, social and governance (ESG), aiming to create a greater sustainable impact for Taiwan.
National Taipei University also expressed that the ESG topic has moved from advocacy to the stage of action and implementation.
The E.SUN Sustainability Hall, beyond deepening dialogue and advocacy, represents the joint determination and action of E.SUN and National Taipei University to promote and expand the sustainable transition.
E.SUN chairman Joseph Huang said: “In facing the challenge of the 2050 net zero transition, E.SUN’s original intention in partnering with National Taipei University to build the E.SUN Sustainability Hall is to cultivate more outstanding sustainable talents and strengthen our nation’s future competitiveness. This hall will become a crucial base for fostering sustainable and innovative talent, combining both parties’ shared values of humanistic care and professional expertise in finance, law, and business, to jointly fulfill this promise for a sustainable future.”
The “E.SUN Sustainability Hall” is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2028. It is planned to feature a 150-person international conference hall and multifunctional spaces for purposes such as sustainability lectures and international conferences.
In the future, it is expected to not only bring together innovative ideas and sustainable energy from across generations and nations, but also to become a crucial cradle for Taiwan to connect with the world and promote sustainable development.
This will make Taiwan better because of E.SUN and the world better because of Taiwan.
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
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
Semiconductor equipment billings in Taiwan are expected to double this year, as manufacturers in the industry are keen to expand production to meet strong global demand for artificial intelligence applications, according to SEMI, which represents companies in the electronics manufacturing and design supply chain. Speaking at a news conference before the opening of Semicon Taiwan trade show tomorrow, SEMI director of industry research and statistics Clark Tseng (曾瑞榆) said semiconductor equipment billings in Taiwan are expected to grow by an annual 100 percent this year, beating an earlier estimate of 70 percent growth. He said that Taiwan received a boost from a
