The Taiwan Chip-based Industrial Innovation Program (2024-2033) aims to solidify the nation's technological prowess to meet the opportunities and challenges posed by industrial transformation over the next 10 to 20 years. The program propels the semiconductor industry forward by sustaining competitive advantages, expanding internationally, innovating new applications and fostering sustainable adaptation. A key strategy of the program is the integration of semiconductors and artificial intelligence (AI) to drive innovation across industries. This approach combines AI and other key technologies with Taiwan's globally leading strengths in semiconductor chip manufacturing, packaging and testing to develop groundbreaking applications. These innovations are then disseminated to fuel advancement across a wide range of sectors including biomedicine and agriculture.
