Taiwan's TSMC has established its first collaborative research lab outside Taiwan with the University of Tokyo, named the TSMC-UTokyo Lab, aimed at semiconductor research. This initiative is a response to the Trump administration’s challenging stance on foreign tech firms. Located on Tokyo University’s Asano campus, the lab will focus on practical applications in semiconductor technologies and foster talent through projects and internships. Both institutions aim to share research findings with broader academia at regular symposia, reinforcing their commitment to innovation and collaboration in this critical field.
"TSMC and UTokyo are both global leaders in their respective fields, and we hope that this lab will serve as a hub for a broad and long-lasting partnership to expand the boundaries of knowledge in the field of semiconductors and nurture generations of talent for the future."
"The lab is sited on Tokyo University's Asano campus in the Hongo district, managed by faculty staff but overseen by directors from both TSMC and the university, serving as a central hub for strategic collaboration."
