TSMC's European Expansion: New Fab and Conference Boost Sustainability
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), a leading player in the semiconductor industry, is expanding its footprint in Europe. The company, which specializes in manufacturing chips for other companies, is constructing a wafer fab in Dresden, Saxony, and has invested in European Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (ESMC). The Saxony-Taiwan Science Conference, themed 'Sustainability Perspectives in the Semiconductor Industry', aims to foster strategic alliances for sustainable development in the electronics sector.
TSMC holds a 70 percent stake in ESMC, with Robert Bosch GmbH, Infineon Technologies AG, and NXP Semiconductors NV each owning a 10 percent share. The fab in Dresden, slated for completion in 2027, will serve the European auto market and industrial sector. The Saxony-Taiwan Science Conference, involving collaboration between universities, research institutions, and industry partners from both regions, focuses on promoting sustainability in semiconductors to build a sustainable future.
TSMC's investment in Saxony signals confidence in the state's economy and education. Saxony and Taiwan, both known for nurturing talent and engineers in the chip industry, share similar histories, making the conference a natural extension of this cooperation.
TSMC's fab in Dresden and the Saxony-Taiwan Science Conference demonstrate a commitment to sustainable development and strategic partnerships in the semiconductor industry. The conference, focusing on sustainability perspectives, is expected to yield innovative solutions and strengthen ties between Saxony and Taiwan.
