President Lai Ching-te spoke of building a more resilient and competitive supply chain to create a prosperous future for Taiwan and the U.S. Jan. 29 at the Presidential Office in Taipei City.
Lai made the remarks while receiving a delegation led by Sanjay Mehrotra, CEO of the U.S.-headquartered Micron Technology, Inc. The PO said Wu Cheng-wen, minister of the national science technology council, and Ho Chin-tsang, deputy economic minister, were also in attendance.
The president said Micron has done business in Taiwan for over three decades, investing more than NT$ 1.2 trillion (US$38.2 billion) and hiring more than 10,000 employees. He expressed gratitude to the company for demonstrating its confidence in Taiwan by including the country in its global market expansion project.
At the end of 2025, Micron successfully applied for a new round of subsidies from the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ A+ Program. The funds will stimulate further investment over the next three years, expanding production capacity and accelerating research and development on high-bandwidth memory.
The president also said that Micron inked a letter of intent with Hsinchu City-based Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation earlier this month, setting the two corporations up to jointly strengthen competitiveness in the computer memory sector. (POC-E)
