Building a Resilient Energy Future

Feature Column

Feature Column Building a Resilient Energy Future In an era defined by accelerating net-zero commitments and intensifying geopolitical shocks, semiconductors are no longer merely engines of technological progress—they have become central to the global energy and sustainability agenda. Taiwan, positioned at the heart of the world's high-tech supply chain, is witnessing its energy strategy, policy direction, and pace of renewable-energy development directly shape its competitiveness and visibility on the international stage. Against this backdrop, SEMI's role is more critical than ever—not just as a semiconductor industry association, but as a cross-sector catalyst for global climate action.

Feature Column Building Kaohsiung Port's Giant　Carrying the Past into the Future: Setting a New Milestone for Taiwan's Energy Landscape In the harbor of Kaohsiung, an orange-red behemoth stands at the water's edge—Taiwan's largest 1,500-ton gantry crane—silhouetted against the southern skyline. Built by Intercontinental Wind Energy Co., Ltd. (IWE), this massive structure is more than an engineering accomplishment; it is a symbol of Taiwan's industrial transformation. Anchored in Kaohsiung, Intercontinental Wind Energy is expanding from fixed-bottom offshore wind to floating structures and broader energy applications, unlocking Taiwan's diverse energy potential and shaping a cross-generational energy industry landscape. Leading the team behind this achievement is Wenlin Chiang, IWE's Vice President, a female executive with fifteen years of deep experience across engineering and the energy sector.

Bringing Semiconductor Equipment Engineering Education to the World—Starting from Kaohsiung　From Overlooked to Essential: How Equipment Engineers Become the Hidden Power Behind Global Semiconductor Competition

Feature Column

Feature Column Bringing Semiconductor Equipment Engineering Education to the World—Starting from Kaohsiung　From Overlooked to Essential: How Equipment Engineers Become the Hidden Power Behind Global Semiconductor Competition At the Department of Semiconductor Engineering at National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (NKUST), the two driving forces behind the Semiconductor Process Equipment Talent Cultivation Base—Professor James Yang, Director of Semiconductor Engineering, and Yu-Hung Chen, Associate Professor and Deputy Director—have spent years quietly building a program that does not rely on slogans or abstract visions. Instead, they began from the most fundamental step: training students to become process equipment engineers who can truly enter the production line and solve real problems with their own hands.

"The Catalyst" Mission: From Shipbuilding to Offshore Industry — Taiwan's Maritime Industrial Vision

Feature Column

Feature Column "The Catalyst" Mission: From Shipbuilding to Offshore Industry — Taiwan's Maritime Industrial Vision He defines himself as a catalyst. From leading CSBC's first self-designed merchant vessel in the 1990s to driving Taiwan's offshore wind and marine engineering industry today, Robert Tseng has consistently emphasized that his focus is not on personal achievements, but on creating positive industrial cycles. In his view, only when an industry's environment improves can enterprises truly thrive — and to him, "running the company well and lifting the entire industry" is the highest form of purpose.

Building Resilience Through Technology: A New Path for Taiwan's Energy Tech Diplomacy

Feature Column

Feature Column Building Resilience Through Technology: A New Path for Taiwan's Energy Tech Diplomacy As global carbon border adjustments accelerate and supply chains are reshaped, energy and digitalization have become the twin engines of competitiveness for cities and industries alike. James Chiao, Chairman of the Taiwan Smart Solutions Association, has traveled from North America and New York to Europe and the Middle East, observing diverse models of urban governance. "It's no longer about whether we should decarbonize," he says firmly. "The real question is how to turn technology into resilience. What truly matters is how environmental change impacts humanity and ecosystems. The core value of a smart city lies in using technology to strengthen both urban and corporate resilience in the face of climate change—not just in counting carbon reductions."

From Industrial Re-shoring to Low-Carbon Diplomacy: Taiwan's Place in the New Energy Geopolitical Order

Feature Column

Feature Column From Industrial Re-shoring to Low-Carbon Diplomacy: Taiwan's Place in the New Energy Geopolitical Order The global energy map is being redrawn, and the tariff policies introduced under the Trump administration marked a watershed moment—a turning point when energy geopolitics shifted from "resource rivalry" to "institutional competition." From that moment on, energy was no longer a mere trade commodity; it became synonymous with national security, diplomacy, and technological governance.
