TSMC Expands Collaboration with Japanese Institutions

TSMC is actively expanding its presence in Japan by entering into cooperation agreements with local academic institutions to educate future experts in the field of semiconductor manufacturing.

As reported by Nikkei Asia, TSMC is closely collaborating with Kyushu University to develop educational programs and exchange information for future employees of Japanese TSMC-affiliated companies. The agreement also includes sending instructors from TSMC to the university for the joint development of educational programs. The university’s proximity to the TSMC construction site will facilitate the successful implementation of this project.

TSMC’s expansion plans in Japan have received support from the Japanese government, as the Kyushu Island annually requires thousands of new experts in semiconductor manufacturing. Kumamoto University is also actively adapting its plans to meet the growing demand for professionals in this field.
