Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is expanding further south. President Lai Ching-te and TSMC Chairman C.C. Wei traveled to Pingtung today to break ground on a new semiconductor supply chain zone at the Pingtung Science Park. The project is expected to attract seven suppliers and establish a major high-tech industry cluster in the county. Even heavy rain and thunderstorms couldn’t dampen spirits, as officials hailed the development as a major milestone for Pingtung’s economic future.

President Lai Ching-te and TSMC CEO C.C. Wei joined other guests in shoveling golden soil, for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Semiconductor Supply Chain Zone at the Pingtung Science Park.

The Pingtung Science Park has designated a 28-hectare semiconductor supply chain zone, with TSMC overseeing the overall planning of the project. Seven suppliers are expected to establish operations there, marking the official arrival of a semiconductor industry cluster in Pingtung.

Lai Ching-te
President
Pingtung now possesses more than just a stock certificate. It has companies in the semiconductor industry, TSMC, and an entire industrial supply chain. Pingtung’s future is looking promising. Congratulations!

TSMC’s expansion to Pingtung is a major milestone. The company’s CEO was due to travel to the US, and would’ve been absent from the event, had it not been for an invitation by Lai. It was a dramatic start for the project, with heavy rains and roaring thunder throughout the ceremony.

C.C. Wei
TSMC CEO
This heavy downpour makes me so happy. Just last month I was wondering how we would sort out our water supply, and whether we’d end up needing water trucks. We were prepared to take action. When I heard the thunder, I thought it was fireworks arranged by the organizers. I didn’t realize pyrotechnic technology had come so advanced and loud!

The thunderstorm created puddles of water that were quickly swept away by staff. Despite the disruption, attendees chose to see the rain as a sign of good fortune, and a blessing for the future of Pingtung’s high tech industry.
