Research that moves innovation forward

The biggest challenges Taiwan and the U.S. face — semiconductor supply chains, healthy aging, energy resilience, emerging diseases — are complex, interdependent, and shared. That's why ASU, the No. 1 university for innovation, partners with Taiwan's leading companies, universities, and institutions to solve them. We convene the best teams across ASU, Arizona, and the Pacific, and accelerate discoveries into the marketplace at scale — on both sides of the ocean.

Powering the future of semiconductors

From atoms to advanced packaging

ASU has emerged as the nation's leading university in shaping the future of American microelectronics — and Taiwan's premier university partner in doing it. As Taiwanese industry establishes and expands its footprint in Arizona, ASU works alongside companies, government, and academic partners across the Pacific to build a resilient, deeply integrated U.S.–Taiwan microelectronics ecosystem. As the recipient of three of the largest investments under the CHIPS and Science Act, ASU carries out work across the entire microelectronics ecosystem — from front-end innovation to advanced packaging and large-scale manufacturing. That full-spectrum capability makes ASU a uniquely valuable partner

Transforming the future of health

Healthy aging, reimagined

Taiwan and Arizona share a challenge that defines this century: populations are aging, chronic disease is rising, and our health systems were built for a world that no longer exists. Together with Taiwanese partners, ASU is reimagining what it means to grow older well — focused not on adding years to life, but life to years.
