Taiwan’s Vanguard International Semiconductor, backed by TSMC, is considering a cutting-edge chip plant in Singapore, eyeing automotive chip demand. The move reflects increasing geopolitical pressure and national security concerns over semiconductors. VIS’s significant investment aims to bolster supply chain resilience. VIS Chairman Leuh Fang emphasized the demand for non-China mature chips.

The new plant in Singapore is poised to enhance the region’s role in global chip manufacturing.
