新東向聯盟理事長、崇越集團董事長郭智輝博士表示：「德勒斯登緊臨捷克邊界，距離捷克首都─布拉格不遠，自布拉格機場不到2小時車程即可抵達德勒斯登。在區域供應鏈的群聚效應下，加上捷克本身的產業、經濟實力，以及地理優勢，捷克半導體產業發展前景不容小覷。」

崇越科技組半導體供應鏈平台  拓銷國際市場

隨客戶腳步，半導體及高科技關鍵材料整合服務龍頭─崇越科技（股票代號5434）也正研議設立歐洲據點，提供半導體供應鏈整體解決服務方案，內容包括半導體整合服務、前段晶圓製造、後段先進封裝、二手設備與零件服務，以及建廠和廠務系統等整合方案，並協助供應鏈與特殊化學品倉儲物流、技術服務、市場分析等價值鏈服務。

崇越科技近年積極打造半導體國際供應鏈平台，2021年於美國亞歷桑納州鳳凰城設立美國崇越、2022年成立日本峻川商事株式會社，2023年8月於日本熊本設立服務據點，希望能就近服務鄰近的JASM，以及SONY等半導體廠；因應供應鏈區域化分散移轉，東南亞以新加坡、馬來西亞、越南為據點，服務東協地區客戶，滿足在地化生產。

崇越集團董事長郭智輝表示：「崇越科技建立了穩健的產品經理制度，提供技術服務、產品測試與品質保證等全方位服務，持續跟隨客戶腳步落實在地服務，包含接下來的台積電德國廠、力積電日本廠，以及世界先進新加坡廠，都是我們積極服務的對象。」

新東向聯盟攜手捷克台商會 降低台商落地阻礙

捷克共和國位於西歐和東歐之間的重要門戶，有「歐洲的心臟」之稱，根據多項經濟、社會和政治指標，躋身世界最發達國家之列，除汽車工業製造是捷克經濟支柱外，電機工程和電子業是第二大產業。

捷克投資局（捷克政府機構CzechInvest）及其合作公司代表，於說明會上介紹捷克共和國的整體投資環境，包括：稅收制度、土地徵用、人力資源、基礎設施等，以及對半導體供應鏈企業具吸引力的獎勵措施。

新東向聯盟則進行實地調研分享，捷克臨近德勒斯登，具地理優勢，加上捷克政府將給予半導體及創新科技相關稅負優惠，可作為台灣科技產業布局歐盟市場的前哨站。新東向聯盟將積極與捷克台灣商會聯盟，以及捷克國家半導體集群合作，全方位協助台商到捷克開拓新商機。

Topco collaborates with TeaLa and signs MOU with Czech industry representatives to expand semiconductor opportunities in EU

Aligned with TSMC's plan to establish a 12-inch wafer fab in Dresden, Germany, influencing the semiconductor ecosystem development in neighboring countries, the "Czech Semiconductor Investment Opportunities Seminar" took place this morning at the Taipei International Convention Center. Organized by Taiwan Eastbound Alliance - Landing America (TeaLa), in collaboration with the Czech Economic and Cultural Office Taipei and the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce in the Czech Republic (TCCCZ), the event featured expert consultants and industry leaders discussing investment opportunities in the Czech Republic. During the seminar, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by TeaLa, the Czech National Semiconductor Cluster (CNSC), and TOPCO SCIENTIFIC Co. Ltd. (TAIEX: 5434) to foster collaboration.

Dr. J.W. Kuo, Chairman of TeaLa and TOPCO, stated, "Dresden is in close proximity to the Czech border and just a short drive from the capital, Prague. With the regional supply chain synergy and the Czech Republic's industrial and economic strength, coupled with its geographical advantage, the prospects for the semiconductor industry in the Czech Republic are promising."

In line with customer demands, TOPCO, the leading integrated service provider in the semiconductor and high-tech key materials sector, is considering establishing a presence in Europe. The goal is to provide comprehensive solutions for the semiconductor supply chain, including IC foundry services, front-end wafer manufacturing, advanced back-end packaging, pre-owned equipment and spare parts services, as well as integrated solutions for plant construction and factory management systems. Additionally, it will assist the supply chain with services such as specialized chemical warehousing logistics, technical support, market analysis, and other value chain services.

TOPCO has actively developed an international semiconductor supply chain platform in recent years. In 2021, it established TOPCO USA in Phoenix, Arizona, followed by the founding of SHUNKAWA in Japan in 2022 and an office in Kumamoto, Japan, in August 2023. These expansions aim to serve nearby semiconductor manufacturers such as JASM and SONY, adapting to the regionalization of the supply chain in Southeast Asia, with bases in Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam catering to ASEAN customers for localized production.

TOPCO Group Chairman, Dr. J.W. Kuo, commented, "TOPCO has built a robust semiconductor product supply chain management system, offering comprehensive services such as technical support, product testing, and quality assurance. We continue to provide on-site services for customers, including TSMC Germany fab, JSMC Japan fab, and GlobalFoundries Singapore fab."

TeaLa, in collaboration with TCCCZ and the Czech National Semiconductor Cluster, aims to significantly enhance mutual cooperation, creating a win-win situation for the semiconductor industries in Taiwan and the Czech Republic.

Serving as a crucial gateway between Western and Eastern Europe, the Czech Republic, often referred to as the "Heart of Europe," stands out as one of the world's most developed countries based on various economic, social, and political indicators. Besides being a pillar of the economy through the automotive industry, the electrical engineering and electronics sector constitutes the second-largest industry.

Given its proximity to Dresden and attractive government incentives, the Czech Republic emerges as a strategic outpost for Taiwanese businesses aiming to position themselves in the EU market. The collaborative efforts between Taiwan and the Czech Republic in academia, industry, and research are expected to yield remarkable results.

▍Signing Units of MOU

◆TeaLa facilitates collective efforts for international investment in Taiwanese enterprises, connecting various sectors including industry, government, academia, and research. By leveraging the local presence of global Taiwanese businesses, TeaLa aims to empower Taiwan's supply chain to seize opportunities in the international industrial restructuring, gain investment insights, nurture global talents, and create new global values for Taiwan.

◆TOPCO specializes in selling precision materials, process equipment, and components required by industries such as semiconductors and high technology. With stable quality, accurate delivery, and prompt services, TOPCO meets customer needs and provides comprehensive solutions for the semiconductor supply chain, spanning from front-end wafer manufacturing to back-end CoWoS and 3D IC packaging testing.

◆TCCCZ, the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce in the Czech Republic, aims to foster unity and mutual assistance among Taiwanese businesses and individuals in the Czech Republic. It serves as a platform to facilitate exchanges and collaborations between Czech and Taiwanese enterprises in various fields.

◆Czech National Semiconductor Cluster (CNSC)established in 2022, CNSC integrates Czech academic and industrial disciplines related to the semiconductor value chain. It is actively committed to advancing the Czech Republic's position in the semiconductor value chain, participating in significant European projects such as IPCEI ME/CT, ChipsAct, and others. It is a member of Silicon Europe, the world's largest network of electronic industry clusters.
