Bridging innovation across the Pacific

Building the future together

Arizona and Taiwan share more than a supply chain. At ASU we share a conviction that talent, not geography, decides who builds the future — and a willingness to prove it. Semiconductors. Health innovation. The people who power both.


The most consequential technology partnership in the world runs through Arizona. Why Arizona? Because ecosystems are not built by incentives. They are built by institutions willing to work differently, and by a culture that treats trust and collaboration as the default rather than the exception. ASU has spent more than two decades building the research capacity, workforce pipelines, and Taiwan relationships that make an ecosystem stick. We are the largest engineering school in the United States by enrollment, the #1 university in the U.S. for innovation for 11 consecutive years, and a founding partner in Arizona's semiconductor corridor. We are also the university that graduates the technicians, the process engineers, the nurses, and the entrepreneurs this region needs.
