  "account": "Taiwan is seeking to attract semiconductor firms to invest in Germany, particularly in the state of Saxony. Eva Langerbeck, the head representative of the German Trade Chamber in Taipei, highlighted a new phase in semiconductor cooperation. This collaboration extends to equipment, materials, smart manufacturing, skilled workers, and the entire supply chain.\n\nSaxony is actively marketing itself as an investment hub for Taiwanese companies. Saxony's Minister of Economics, Dirk Panter (SPD), announced at the Semicon trade show that the city of Chemnitz has signed an intention agreement with Kaohsiung, a southern Taiwanese city. Panter emphasized that the entire state of Saxony is keen on expanding partnerships with Taiwan.\n\nCurrently under construction in Saxony is the ESMC factory, a joint project involving Taiwan's top chipmaker TSMC, Bosch, Infineon, and NXP. Production of chips for the automotive industry is expected to commence in 2027. Panter revealed that more than 20 Taiwanese firms have already established themselves as ESMC suppliers in Saxony.",
  "summary": "Taiwan ist führend in der Herstellung aller Arten von Chips. Im Hightech-Wettlauf mit anderen Ländern will Deutschland Wissen aus Taiwan für sich nutzen – allen voran Sachsen.",
