What happened
The Ministry of Economic Affairs announced plans to establish industrial parks in the United States, utilizing a model where private businesses provide funding while the government offers assistance. These parks, which could cost between US$2 billion and US$4 billion each, are intended to build a comprehensive supply chain supporting Nvidia Corp. and other AI hardware makers. The initiative is set to begin with a complex in Texas, where land has reportedly been secured.

Why it matters
The parks are designed to help smaller suppliers supporting TSMC and AI server manufacturers like Foxconn establish operations in the United States. The government plans to support these suppliers by offering loan guarantees and assisting with coordination on visas and land matters.
