AMD's Investment in Taiwan

U.S. semiconductor company AMD will invest more than US$10 billion in Taiwan's AI supply chain while ramping up production of its next-generation server processors using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's (TSMC) advanced 2-nanometer process technology.

This investment aims to expand partnerships with Taiwanese chip packaging, substrate, and server manufacturing companies as global demand for AI infrastructure continues to surge.

AMD Chair and CEO Lisa Su stated, "By combining AMD leadership in high-performance computing with the Taiwan ecosystem and our strategic global partners, we are enabling integrated, rack-scale AI infrastructure." This highlights AMD's commitment to leveraging Taiwan's manufacturing capabilities alongside its own high-performance computing technologies to create advanced AI systems.

Focus on Advanced Packaging Technology

A major focus of the investment plan is advanced packaging technology for AI chips, including next-generation 2.5D bridge interconnect technology known as Elevated Fanout Bridge (EFB).

AMD is collaborating with Taiwan-based ASE Technology Holding Co. and Siliconware Precision Industries Co. (SPIL) to develop EFB packaging, which aims to improve chip interconnect bandwidth and power efficiency for future EPYC processors.

AMD has also achieved a milestone with Powertech Technology Inc. (PTI) by qualifying the industry's first 2.5D panel-based EFB interconnect, enabling more scalable and cost-efficient AI chip production.

Upcoming Helios AI Platform

The investments are also tied to AMD's upcoming Helios AI platform, described as a production-ready rack-scale AI infrastructure system scheduled for deployment beginning in the second half of 2026.

This platform is expected to play a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for AI capabilities across various sectors.

Daifuku ties factory expansion and M&A to a bigger bet on semiconductor and logistics automation demand

Daifuku used a May 28, 2026 briefing in Tokyo to outline how heavier capital spending and selective acquisitions are meant to support its fiscal 2030 sales target of ¥1 trillion. The plan includes ¥1.6 trillion in investment across fiscal 2024-2027, added capacity in Shiga and Komaki, and the planned acquisition of Germany’s Eisenmann to strengthen its automotive business in Europe. The move matters beyond one company because it signals confidence that chip fabs, cleanroom production and large-scale intralogistics projects will keep demanding more complex material-handling systems and software.

Japan's deep-tech startup Flosfia offers next-gen power chips that allow EVs to travel farther

Kyoto University startup Flosfia is developing gallium oxide power semiconductors as an alternative to silicon for devices including electric vehicles. The company says gallium oxide delivers far lower power loss than silicon and silicon carbide, while its mist CVD process can bring production costs close to silicon. Flosfia says its devices have met industry reliability criteria and is preparing for mass production with a target of 1 million units per month.
