NRW Investment Forum “Semiconductor Investment & Technological Cooperation”

Introduction

North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), anchored by the innovation hubs of Aachen and the Rheinisches Revier, offers an investment landscape for Taiwanese semiconductor and high-tech companies looking to expand into Europe. Backed by extensive structural transformation funds, top-tier research institutions like RWTH Aachen, and world leaders in deposition equipment and advanced chip manufacturing (such as AIXTRON and Element 3-5 GmbH), the region provides a future-proof, highly subsidized ecosystem for foreign direct investment.

Taiwan is a global powerhouse in the semiconductor industry, renowned for its advanced tech infrastructure, agile manufacturing prowess, and critical role in the international supply chain. As Taiwanese firms increasingly look outward to secure European footholds, NRW presents unique synergies. The region combines robust industrial traditions with a rapidly growing microelectronics cluster, offering incoming investors immediate access to specialized talent, specialized industrial land, and lucrative public funding packages tailored for critical technologies.

At the Investment Forum on “Semiconductor Investment & Technological Cooperation” we aim to bring together key investment agencies, industry stakeholders, and leading tech companies from NRW and Taiwan. Together, we will explore strategic pathways for Taiwanese investment in NRW, examining collaborative opportunities in advanced chip architectures, resilient supply chain integration, hardware-software co-design, and the future of cross-border microelectronics innovation.

Welcome to join in!
