SEMICON Taiwan (formerly Taipei International Semiconductor Show) is the premier annual trade exhibition and conference for semiconductor, Semiconductor device fabrication, microelectronics manufacturing, packaging, and test technologies in Taipei, Taiwan. Organized by SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International) in collaboration with Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), the show is held every September at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center and brings together global players across Taiwan’s critical semiconductor ecosystem.
History
SEMICON Taiwan was inaugurated in 1996 and has grown steadily to become
Asia’s largest semiconductor trade event. In 2022, the exhibition marked its 27th edition, hosting over 700 exhibitors and approximately 2,450 booths – a record at the time.
The 2023 edition featured around 950 exhibitors, 3,000 booths, and attracted over 50,000 visitors from more than 20 countries, accompanied by more than 20 forums focusing on global industry trends like smart manufacturing and automotive semiconductors, featuring the First ever UK Semiconductors Business Delegation to Taiwan.
In 2024, SEMICON Taiwan set a new attendance record, with more than 1,100 exhibitors across 3,600 booths and an attendance of 85,000, the highest in its history.
Reflecting continued expansion in 2025, the show entered its 30th anniversary year, rebranded as part of a week‑long “International Semiconductor Week,” including technical forums on September 8-9 followed by the main expo September 10-12 at TaiNEX Hall 1 & 2. The 2025 event aims to attract over 100,000 visitors, 1,100+ exhibitors from 56 countries, and featured a record 17 national pavilions.
Themes and Sections
Each year SEMICON Taiwan frames a unifying theme: 2024 emphasized "Empowering AI Without Limits", highlighting advanced packaging and silicon photonics.
Significance
SEMICON Taiwan is critical for several reasons. Firstly, it provides a global forum for Taiwan's semiconductor equipment and materials supply chain, a segment where Taiwan leads globally.
Furthermore, the trade show facilitates cross-border knowledge exchange, industry collaboration, and business matching on key topics like 3D ICs, Fan-out wafer-level packaging, silicon photonics, and memory innovation.
Also, Country Pavilion representations (17 in 2025) reinforces Taiwan’s position at the centre of a global semiconductor ecosystem and supports multilateral dialogue at government and industry levels.
