As the global buildout of artificial intelligence infrastructure accelerates, Taiwan's technology industry has emerged as one of the most closely watched hubs in the world. Ahead of COMPUTEX 2026, Morgan Stanley held its Asia AI Summit in Taipei for the first time, underscoring the island's central role in the global semiconductor supply chain and the AI investment cycle.

Generative AI, HPC, and large data centers are raising demand for chips with higher power efficiency, stronger thermal control, and denser packaging, making advanced packaging a more strategic part of the semiconductor supply chain. In China, panel-level packaging (PLP) is gaining traction for its larger format, higher output, and lower-cost potential.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hosted another "trillion-dollar dinner" at Juan Yau Restaurant in Taipei, Taiwan, on May 28, with chairmen and presidents from multiple Taiwanese artificial intelligence (AI) server and semiconductor supply chain companies attending and posing for group photos.
