Taiwan’s Role in the Global Semiconductor Technology Race

Abstracts

EN

This article provides a detailed analysis of the development of the Taiwanese semiconductor industry, with a particular focus on the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and other major industry players. It explores the evolution of TSMC, whose innovative strategies, supported at one stage by government investment, allowed it to gain a dominant position in the global market. The analysis highlights TSMC’s unique approach to technological and business development, characterized by its ability to overcome limited infrastructure and state support in its early stages. The author also shows how historical challenges, such as initial infrastructure limitations, were transformed into advantages, allowing Taiwan, led by TSMC, to become a key player in the global semiconductor supply chain. The article emphasizes the strategic importance of Taiwan’s semiconductor sector for the global economy and security, especially in the face of rising tensions between China and Taiwan. It also analyzes the potential geopolitical consequences of the conflict in the region and Taiwan’s critical role as a leader in producing advanced semiconductor technologies. The article demonstrates Taiwan’s significant influence on the global technology scene and its undeniable role in maintaining the global balance in the field of innovative technologies.
