Editor’s Note: Welcome to AspenCore’s Special Project on Focus on Taiwan, Part 1. Offered in the form of an eBook, this special project provides an in-depth look at Taiwan. We explored the topic from multiple angles including the business, technology, and economy.
By Junko Yoshida, Chief International Correspondent, EE Times
Taiwan is a tiny nation of just 23 million souls. It doesn’t boast a huge commercial market that devours vast amounts of finished goods. Yet for small economies seeking membership among the world’s technology leaders, Taiwan has a key to the club.
Talent mobility, above all, spurred the birth of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Taiwan has become the world capital of advanced chip production. The foundry business has anchored Taiwan’s tech industry and its economic boom.
That’s a well-told story.
Less known are the stories about people behind Taiwan’s rise, whose vision and determination turned a little mountain island into a technology engine. Those pioneers remain deeply bonded. This issue of AspenCore’s “Focus on Taiwan” examines Taiwan’s potential and explores new plots that those visionaries — including the Minister of Science and Technology — are hatching for Taiwan’s new-generation engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs.
