Japanese officials talk about an interesting opportunity for TSMS (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company), a Taiwanese multinational semiconductor contract manufacturing company: through a joint venture with Dense and sony, the second plant can be built in an Asian country. A similar discussion was observed in Arizona, and additional construction was eventually confirmed.
Through a joint venture with Denso and Sony, a second plant could be built in the Asian country.
Yoshihiro SekiThe general secretary of the industrial strategy working group of the ruling party of Japan said that the company is exploring the possibility of building another plant in addition to the one already under construction. However, everything must be designed with care, because the effort will require billions of dollars: $8.6 billion there will be an estimated amount for the implementation of the project – a significant part of the costs can be offset by government subsidies.
Semiconductor sector could be key to Japan’s economic security
Seki added: “TSMC plans to invest more in Japan. We must create conditions conducive to the implementation of promising projects in cooperation with us.A spokesperson for a Taiwanese multinational corporation commented that they did not rule out the possibility of a professional relationship with Japan; however, there are still no definite plans. To change the situation, the Japanese authorities are exploring the possibility of creating a Rapidus consortium with the support of IBMto specialize in lithographed components 2 nm until 2027.

The secretary general believes that technological innovation in the semiconductor segment is becoming a reality, but the Japanese will not succeed in their onslaught if private and public capital do not act together. Prime Minister Fumio Kishidanoted in October of this year that this sector could be a solution to strengthen the country’s desired economic security, but additional investment would be required to implement it.
