The green economy is also expected to bring more economic growth and employment opportunities to Taiwan.
Review 2017, SEMI continued to closely link industry and government, invited to the president and a number of ministerial level officials to attend important activities, and with the Executive Yuan, Ministry of Science and other relevant ministries will hold many activities, and continue to enhance member satisfaction. SEMICON Taiwan International Semiconductor Show and PV Taiwan Taiwan International Photovoltaic Power Generation Co., Ltd. not only the scale of the exhibition and visitors to a new high, SEMI also immediately respond to industry trends, combined with the industry's hot topics, to create the two exhibitions become the semiconductor and energy industry's most professional international exchange platform.
SEMI strives to improve its service quality by proposing three major purposes of "Connect Link", "Collaborate Cooperation" and "Innovate Innovation". SEMI is committed to building a diversified platform and continuing to assist its members in their growth and profit-making activities. And talent training will be the next wave of focus of SEMI.
In response to industry trends, SEMI continues to cultivate the Internet of Things, smart manufacturing, artificial intelligence and big data, smart cars, smart medical and other fields, and planning related topics zones, international forums and seminars during 2018 SEMICON Taiwan.
In response to the government's energy policy, SEMI has been actively involved in the field of renewable energy. In addition to the solar photovoltaic industry that has been cultivating for 11 years, SEMI has officially entered the fields of wind energy, hydrogen energy and fuel cells, green transportation, intelligent energy storage and green finance. PV Taiwan Taiwan International Photovoltaic Exhibition, upgraded to "Energy Taiwan Taiwan International Smart Energy Week", including solar energy, wind energy, hydrogen and fuel cells, green transportation, intelligent storage and green finance and other renewable energy theme, to create Taiwan The largest international exchange platform for green industry.
Zeng Ruiyu, a senior manager of Taiwan's industry research at SEMI, pointed out that in the semiconductor industry in 2017, the semiconductor industry hit a record high with revenue, equipment and silicon wafer shipments. In the Internet of Things, 5G, automotive electronics, AR / VR , And artificial intelligence and other applications driven by the growth of the semiconductor is expected to continue all the way to 2025.
In terms of fab investment, semiconductor equipment spending is projected to grow by 7% to $ 60 billion by 2018, with South Korea maintaining its largest equipment spending market and China maintaining the highest growth rate in the market. Foundry, 3D NAND, DRAM will be the main expense driver.
In the materials market, the semiconductor material market in 2017 will grow by 10% over last year and the estimated growth rate of 4% in 2018 is expected. Taiwan will maintain the largest material buyer.
Tsai Chaoyang, chairman of Sheung Shui New Energy, also said that Taiwan has 36 offshore potential wind farms suitable for wind power generation.In 2017 EPA's 22 cases of offshore wind power EIA cases, 19 cases of EIA first instance have been recommended , With a combined capacity of 10.07GW.Changwei is the first company in Taiwan to invest offshore wind power and the two demonstration fans will generate about 20 million kWh of electricity from the end of April to the end of December 2017.
Chai Chaoyang said that wind power industry chain is vertical and horizontal, creating a lot of business opportunities for Taiwan industry from development and design, financing, wind farm planning, technical certification and risk management, equipment component manufacturing to operation and maintenance. Taking the offshore wind power in Zhunan For example, two demonstration units, for its domestic industry to create value of about 1.2 billion yuan.
At present, the challenges facing the development of offshore wind power in Taiwan are, apart from the consensus of society on renewable energy development, the availability of bank financing and green energy funds, and the participation of domestic enterprises, the most important thing is to rely on the consistency of policies.
