Chun-Hsien Yeh, the new minister of Taiwan’s National Development Council (NDC), pointed out on September 17 that with strong demand for artificial intelligence (AI), TSMC will be running at full capacity through 2026. He believes that TSMC can maintain its technological lead for at least another 5 to 10 years. Taiwan’s policies, work culture, talent education, and ecosystem are all key drivers behind TSMC’s success.
