2025 Key Technology Trends in Taiwan
Semiconductor
According to Ray Yang, a veteran industry expert, Taiwan is set to maintain its global dominance in the semiconductor industry for at least the next 8 to 10 years, highlighting Taiwan’s strong position in the sector.
The country’s semiconductor industry remains a crucial driver of growth. The industry is set for significant expansion, with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) forecasting a 16.5% increase in production value by 2025, reaching over NT$6.17 trillion (US$192.28 billion). This growth is primarily fueled by the rising demand for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) devices, including servers and data centers. Taiwan will continue to lead in manufacturing, design, packaging, and testing, mainly as it adopts cutting-edge technologies like the upcoming 2-nanometer process and advances toward the 9-angstrom generation.
AI
Already a central player in the global semiconductor industry, Taiwan is now positioning itself as a hub for innovation in AI. Electronics giant Foxconn is leading the charge with plans to build Taiwan’s largest AI supercomputer, powered by Nvidia’s latest chips, capable of performing 90 exaflops
As Taiwan expands its AI capabilities, it also focuses on managing associated risks. In 2023, the government launched the AI Taiwan Action Plan 2.0 (2023-2026), shifting its emphasis from technical development to AI ethics and governance. With emerging risks in sectors like finance, healthcare, and transportation, Taiwan is working to develop comprehensive AI regulations inspired by the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. The aim is to establish robust AI governance by the end of 2024. This keeps innovation balanced with safety.
Industrial Computing
Taiwan commands a dominant 70% global market share in the industrial computer sector, a position strengthened by its robust engineering education system and strategic advantages (CommonWealth Magazine). The country’s compact geography facilitates rapid prototyping, with suppliers and manufacturers in close proximity, allowing companies to iterate and launch new products quickly. This agility is crucial in the ever-evolving field of industrial computing, ensuring Taiwan remains at the forefront of innovation.
Strategically, companies like Advantech maintain manufacturing bases in Taiwan and China, balancing cost efficiency with high-quality standards. Collaborations with global technology giants like Intel, NVIDIA, and Microsoft further drive Taiwan’s success. This ensures that its industrial computers feature the latest technological advancements.
Intelligent Automation
Taiwan’s foundry industry once fueled its economic growth. Furthermore, large OEMs are turning to automation as production lines grow more complex. The integration of automation with robotics has evolved into “intelligent” automation, becoming a key driver for Taiwan’s smart manufacturing and machinery industries (Market Prospect)
The global industrial robot market is projected to reach $26.7 billion by 2025 (ibid). This opens up new opportunities for integrating traditional robotic automation with AI, enabling machines to perform more complex tasks, enhance precision, and adapt to changing production needs. This IA technology not only improves operational efficiency but also allows manufacturers to optimize production lines, reduce costs, and respond more swiftly to market shifts
Expert insights – Embracing emerging tech trends for enterprise growth
Understanding customer needs for business growth
According to Deloitte, by leveraging the power of analytics, the internal audit process can provide valuable insights and conclusions that help decision-makers act quickly and make more effective, timely decisions. It is crucial to create a 360-degree view of customers and their end users beyond just the technological perspective. You can leverage this comprehensive understanding to highlight the benefits of new systems for the customer’s business requirements. As a result, productivity remains stable or even improves, while customers and end users benefit from enhanced efficiency and minimal disruptions, all thanks to the thoughtful implementation of technology solutions.
Starting with ‘Why’ to make strategies
According to Pavel Stepanov, founder of Virtudesk, it’s crucial to outline clear goals and objectives before adopting new technology. Start by identifying the need for this technology and the specific challenges or opportunities it aims to address. Once you clearly define these, align the solution’s goals with your broader business objectives to ensure relevance and coherence. Consider the potential impact on various departments and processes within your organization, and involve key stakeholders in the strategy-building process to gather diverse perspectives.
A comprehensive strategy should also include a timeline, a resource allocation plan, and metrics for measuring success. By developing a solid implementation strategy, you lay the foundation for a smoother adoption process and better organizational alignment.
Change management for employees for successful transformation
People often equate change management with “good communication,” but that’s just the starting point. According to TechTarget, change management is a systematic approach to dealing with the transition or transformation of an organization’s goals, processes and technologies. The purpose of change management is to implement strategies for effecting and controlling change and helping people to adapt to change.
Implementing large-scale technology projects frequently encounters user adoption and engagement challenges. According to Prosci’s best practices, integrating change management strategies is critical for the success of these initiatives, as they have a significant impact on both the company and its employees. Wipfli LLP Consultants liken the process to education: simply giving instructions without actively engaging users in the learning process results in poor adoption. Employees need to feel that they are part of the solution and that their input matters. This sense of involvement reduces resistance and increases their willingness to embrace change.
Choosing the right technology partner
Selecting the right technology partner from the beginning can address all the points mentioned above. Steve Case, one of America’s most well-known and accomplished entrepreneurs, emphasized that collaboration is critical in this new era. Companies must shift their mindset to embrace partnerships, integrate technology, and align on mutual goals and trust. Zendeck recommends that the right partner not only meets your technical needs but also aligns with your company’s vision, helping both parties achieve shared goals. It’s about fostering a collaborative “You, Me, and We” dynamic where the partnership benefits all stakeholders, ensuring business growth and customer satisfaction. akaBot, with its expertise in digital transformation, is ready to deliver tailored solutions for your business journey into 2025 and beyond.
