Taiwan plays a pivotal role in the AI industry with it producing over 90% of the most advanced semiconductors that are being used in advanced AI applications and research. Not stopping here, Taiwan also supplies over 90% of AI servers worldwide that are required to run the AI applications.

Semiconductor companies have gained attention ever since the 2020-2023 global chip shortage. With many tech manufacturing companies relying on semiconductor companies to make their chips the surge in demand further increases the profitability of semiconductor companies. Gartner, an American technological research and consulting firm based in Stamford, Connecticut predicts the semiconductor industry to grow by 17% and demand for memory chips to increase by 66.3% in 2024.

AI industry enthusiasts are recommended to come and check out SEMICON Taiwan this 3-6 September to gain insights from industry experts to keep up with technology developments in the world.
