Security products provider GreenBase Technology Co (綠基) yesterday said revenue this year is expected to grow 36 percent from last year’s NT$5.42 billion (US$172.35 million), thanks to the contribution of its subsidiary DivioTec Inc’s (安恩嘉) port affairs business.
Products related to the port affairs business — including network video recorders, rugged artificial intelligence (AI) cameras and other smart solutions — are expected to account for about 20 percent of GreenBase’s total revenue this year, the company said.

The company’s clients are mostly in the national defense and urban surveillance sectors, it said.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs last week designated the company’s rugged AI vision product “SeesAll” a national high-value security product.
SeesAll is designed specifically for seaport surveillance.
Evergreen Marine Corp (長榮海運) has ordered 500 units of the AI product for deployment at the Port of Kaohsiung, GreenBase said.
The company has also begun shipping a new AI camera product to a major cloud service provider, GreenBase said, adding that it expects it to be a key growth driver next year.
The US accounted for 74 percent of the company’s NT$4.38 billion sales in the first nine months of this year, followed by Europe at 9 percent, Taiwan at 8 percent and other regions at 9 percent, it said.
The company expects the US to remain the largest market for its national defense, port and city surveillance businesses, it said, adding that GreenBase is also targeting Western European port markets such as Spain, the Netherlands and Germany.
GreenBase Technology, a subsidiary of industrial computermaker Nexcom International Co (新漢), operates manufacturing facilities in New Taipei City’s Linkou (林口) and Banciao (板橋) districts.
Shiina Ito has had fewer Chinese customers at her Tokyo jewelry shop since Beijing issued a travel warning in the wake of a diplomatic spat, but she said she was not concerned. A souring of Tokyo-Beijing relations this month, following remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi about Taiwan, has fueled concerns about the impact on the ritzy boutiques, noodle joints and hotels where holidaymakers spend their cash. However, businesses in Tokyo largely shrugged off any anxiety. “Since there are fewer Chinese customers, it’s become a bit easier for Japanese shoppers to visit, so our sales haven’t really dropped,” Ito
The number of Taiwanese working in the US rose to a record high of 137,000 last year, driven largely by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s (TSMC, 台積電) rapid overseas expansion, according to government data released yesterday. A total of 666,000 Taiwanese nationals were employed abroad last year, an increase of 45,000 from 2023 and the highest level since the COVID-19 pandemic, data from the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) showed. Overseas employment had steadily increased between 2009 and 2019, peaking at 739,000, before plunging to 319,000 in 2021 amid US-China trade tensions, global supply chain shifts, reshoring by Taiwanese companies and
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) received about NT$147 billion (US$4.71 billion) in subsidies from the US, Japanese, German and Chinese governments over the past two years for its global expansion. Financial data compiled by the world’s largest contract chipmaker showed the company secured NT$4.77 billion in subsidies from the governments in the third quarter, bringing the total for the first three quarters of the year to about NT$71.9 billion.

The subsidies received by its subsidiaries —
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) Chairman C.C. Wei (魏哲家) and the company’s former chairman, Mark Liu (劉德音), both received the Robert N. Noyce Award -- the semiconductor industry’s highest honor -- in San Jose, California, on Thursday (local time). Speaking at the award event, Liu, who retired last year, expressed gratitude to his wife, his dissertation advisor at the University of California, Berkeley, his supervisors at AT&T Bell Laboratories -- where he worked on optical fiber communication systems before joining TSMC, TSMC partners, and industry colleagues. Liu said that working alongside TSMC
