Arizona business leaders are in Taiwan this week for a trip focused on semiconductor development.
The delegation's visit comes about a month after Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC announced its $265 billion investment in the state.
The visit is led by the Arizona Commerce Authority and includes representatives from the state’s universities and the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
In a statement, Commerce Authority President Sandra Watson said Arizona’s longstanding partnership with Taiwan is one of the most important around the world.
The delegation will be attending one of the largest global semiconductor conventions SEMICON Taiwan. They’re also scheduled to visit the American Institute in Taiwan, a nonprofit made to represent U.S. interests on the island.
It’s the Commerce Authority’s third visit to Taiwan this year.
