TAIPEI (TVBS News) — The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA, 經濟部) emphasized Tuesday (March 4) that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC, 台積電) overseas investment strategy aims to enhance its long-term competitiveness, reinforcing Taiwan's core position in the global semiconductor industry.
TSMC announced a significant investment in the U.S., pledging at least US$100 billion to construct three wafer fabs, two advanced packaging facilities, and a research and development center. U.S. President Donald Trump and TSMC Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei (魏哲家) revealed the plan Monday at the White House, highlighting TSMC's commitment to addressing global customer demand.
The MOEA's Industrial Development Administration (經濟部產發署) noted that TSMC continues to advance high-end manufacturing projects in Taiwan, focusing on breakthroughs in 2-nanometer, 1.4-nanometer, and smaller process technologies. The administration also highlighted TSMC's efforts to expand its wafer fabs in Central Taiwan Science Park (中科) and Southern Taiwan Science Park (南科) and strengthen partnerships with local suppliers.
This ensures Taiwan remains a hub for semiconductor innovation. The MOEA stated that the government will maintain collaboration with the private sector through investment review mechanisms and policy planning to safeguard the long-term interests of the high-tech industry. As TSMC expands its global footprint, the focus remains on maintaining Taiwan's pivotal role in technological advancement.
