Taiwan and Texas Enhance Collaboration in Semiconductors and Space Research
Taiwan's delegation, led by Science Minister Wu Cheng-wen, visited Texas to enhance cooperation in semiconductors, space research, and photonics. This partnership aims to fortify supply chains and academic collaboration in light of Texas's growing prominence in these industries.

A delegation from Taiwan, led by Science Minister Wu Cheng-wen, visited Texas starting August 11 to strengthen ties in advanced semiconductors, space research, and photonics. The meetings involved Texas state officials, including Adriana Cruz and Robert Howden, as well as representatives from major universities such as the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University.
Discussions included Texas’s semiconductor initiatives and the integration of artificial intelligence in physical computing. The visit also featured tours of UT Austin’s Microelectronics Research Centre and Texas Electronic Institute to explore shared research in satellite technology and silicon photonics for AI applications. This collaboration could significantly impact technology supply chains and academic partnerships in both regions.
