Kyushu University has entered into a comprehensive partnership with TSMC, the global leader in semiconductor manufacturing from Taiwan, following the construction of TSMC’s first Japanese semiconductor factory in Kumamoto. Effective from April 1, the memorandum covers collaborative research and workforce development. Kyushu University aims to leverage this alliance to address the shortage of semiconductor experts in Japan, with initiatives including scholarships, joint projects, and employment opportunities in Taiwan for students.
