A partnership built at the scale of the investment

TSMC's Arizona commitment is the largest and most consequential foreign direct investment in U.S. history. ASU has been a partner since before the first shovel — and the relationship now runs across workforce development, research, and community.

Educational partners

ASU's partnerships with esteemed Taiwanese academic organizations are designed to move people and ideas in both directions — joint degrees, faculty exchange, co-supervised graduate students, and shared research infrastructure.

Featured partnership — National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) Our comprehensive partnership with NYCU spans semiconductor engineering, health innovation, and business.

Industry partners

A semiconductor ecosystem is hundreds of companies, not one. ASU works with suppliers, equipment manufacturers, materials firms, packaging and test operations, and the service companies that make a corridor function — including Amkor, Applied Materials, and others.

What partnership can look like:

  • Sponsored research and shared facility access
  • Custom workforce programs and upskilling for incumbent employees
  • Internship and co-op pipelines
  • Capstone engineering projects
  • Access to ASU's Corporate Engagement Network and Arizona's economic development ecosystem

Most of our industry partnerships begin with a single conversation about a single problem. That is a good way to start.
