【Official Announcement: Calvin Choy Accompanies Members on In-Depth Taiwan Tour 🇹🇼】Hsinchu TSMC Journey — Past and Present of the Technology Island

Table of Contents

TSMC is not merely the hub of the global semiconductor supply chain, but has profoundly transformed Taiwan's industrial structure and international role. This specially arranged visit to the TSMC Museum of Innovation offers deep exploration of its industrial logic from conception to manufacturing. Through interactive displays and real-world case studies, we will understand how TSMC built the "fabless design" ecosystem and gain insight into the underlying logic of Taiwan as a "technology island."

On the second day, we enter the National Railway Museum preparation site to understand how Taiwan's heavy industry laid the foundation for early industrial development; then proceed to the Taiwan Stock Museum to witness the establishment and evolution of the capital system; finally ascending the Taipei 101 observation deck to survey the complete landscape of Taiwan's industrial terrain from above.
