The fun and success continues for Central New York this week, with an opportunity to welcome leaders from Taiwan’s robust semiconductor industry and supply chain in Central New York. It wasn’t long ago that hosting one or two prospects a year would have been big news for our community. And now we are able to welcome dozens of companies and partners at a time, multiple times a year. It’s a whole new ball game. Thanks to the American Institute of Taiwan for organizing a delegation of their best and brightest to visit several of the United States newest Tech Hubs, of which Upstate New York is now one. Over three days, we talked extensively about US locations for expansion, innovation, startups, research and development, government investment, workforce development and the intangibles of what allows places to succeed across time and political cycles — namely cross-sectoral collaboration and a clear vision for the future. On this score, our new friends left impressed. We are just starting to develop these transpacific relationships but it’s clear that there is mutual interest, mutual respect and plenty more to come. Of course, credit to all the partners involved: Jon Cardinal and Majority Leader Schumer Empire State Development Ryan McMahon Robert Petrovich, MBA Joseph Stefko Dottie Gallagher Matt Hurlbutt Tom Kucharski Honora Spillane The entire team Onondaga County Office of Economic Development for their hard work Syracuse University for their hospitality Micron Technology Dan Feng CenterState CEO’s incredible staff and volunteer leadership And many more… Egos and pettiness were once an impediment to meaningful collaboration and the resulting growth that comes from working together. No longer. May those days be forever behind us. Big and exciting things lie ahead….. When we work together, we win.

Since Gov. Eric Holcomb's 2022 economic development mission to Taiwan, we've worked to strengthen our partnership further. Today, Sec. David Rosenberg and the Indiana delegation in Taiwan met with Patrick Lin, President of AmCham Taiwan, to explore more ways we can grow together and share the news of our Taiwan office opening. The group discussed Indiana's growing semiconductor industry, the record-breaking investments we've secured in advanced battery manufacturing and how we can work together to build our economies of the future. #indiana #taiwan

Happy Japanese Invention Day, everyone! April 18th is “Invention Day” in Japan, when we celebrate the history of Japanese innovation and creativity that has made the nation one of the world's leading players in the global patent industry. The roots of Invention Day can be traced back to the early Meiji period in the 19th century when Japan embarked on a national programme of modernization and technological advancement.  This was marked by the enactment of the Patent Monopoly Act on April 18th, 1885, which laid the foundation for Japan's modern patent system.  Since then, Japan has undergone the most profound social and technological transformation of any modern nation. The ingenuity of its inventors has reshaped industries and improved lives around the world.  Long may this continue. Happy Invention Day! #Innovation #Japan #Patents #InventionDay #Technology #JPO #IntellectualProperty

How to have 100% continuity growth in 2023? SLKOR Song Shiqiang tells you the code   In recent years, China's economic development has encountered many challenges. However, under the leadership of Song Shiqiang, Kinghelm Electronics (www.kinghelm.net) and SlkorMicro Semicon (www.slkoric.com) have maintained a continuous 100% growth rate in both 2022 and 2023, achieving the initial goal of annual sales of one hundred million yuan and meeting the minimum financial requirements for listing on the GEM board. We continue to strive for our goal of listing on the Sci-Tech board and strengthening the fundamental management of our company. So what is the secret to our success? From my perspective, it comes down to four main factors: grasping the core value of our industry, implementing strong internal management practices, promoting systematic innovation within our company, and treating the domestic and foreign markets for electronic components like a battlefield. These are the key aspects that have contributed to our success.

This is a very interesting read. "President Xi Jinping stated in 2014 that the first-mover advantage* would go to 'whoever holds the nose of the ox of science and technology innovation.'" "Chinese companies are becoming more protective of their IP, and there were three times as many IP-related lawsuits filed in 2020 as in 2016." "Time is not on America's side." *More on the "first mover advantage" based strategy in the next post. Spoiler: it'll include a book recommendation https://lnkd.in/g8_ANsNU

Why is China Leading the Global Patent Race? China's rise in patent filings is no accident! 🚀 Here’s why they’re topping the charts: 1. Government Backing: With massive R&D incentives and policies like “Made in China 2025,” innovation is highly rewarded. 2. Tech Giants on the Move: Companies like Huawei and Alibaba are driving patent filings in fields like 5G, AI, and more! 3. Protecting Their Turf: As Chinese firms expand globally, patents are essential to securing their competitive edge. 4. Innovation Economy: China’s shift from manufacturing to innovation has made patents the new currency for growth. The future of innovation is in China’s hands! 🔬💡 Long way for India to catch up!! Rather than asking whether you have seen a xyz webseries, we should now start asking, how many patents have you filed.. 😀 #Innovation #Patents #Tech #China

China remained the world's largest and fastest-growing market for semiconductor manufacturing equipment in the second quarter,, as the country pushes to be technologically self-sufficient amid sanctions by the US.

Bridging semiconductor opportunities between China and Europe 🌉 Nearly a year ago, the EU enacted the European Chips Act to boost industrial security and realise Europe's potential in semiconductor manufacturing. Things are moving and CTP, as a leading provider of space in Europe, is at the heat of the action... 🏁 This week, the Czech Economic and Cultural Office, in collaboration with CzechInvest, is hosting a delegation of prominent Czech industry leaders in Taipei including Czechia's Junior Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Petr Očko, and Czech experts from high-tech companies and research institutions. The visit aims to engage with Asian semiconductor stakeholders, exploring opportunities for integrating their production into the region. 🔭 Jaromir Cernik and Ronald Law, who lead our CTP Asia office, are engaging in the event, and talking about our solutions for industrial and technology parks. Czechia is attractive for many international #hightech clients, and CTP has seen this first hand here with our clients such as Thermo Fisher Scientific, Honeywell, Inventec, Wistron and Vitesco Technologies. The region offers skilled workforce, supportive investment policies, competitive operational costs compared to Western Europe, close proximity to German markets, and developed infrastructure. ✅ But, more than that, when such international clients move into our parks, we help plug them into comprehensive business ecosystems that connects them with universities, R&D labs, recruitment agencies, other supply partners and more. This unlocks win-win regional development, and that is what CTP is here for. Europe, and particulatly #CEE, is an ideal place to combined build-to-suit manufacturing and high-tech research. 🚀 --- Connect with CTP's on-the-ground delegates in Asia: 🔸Jaromir Cernik, Business Development Director for Asia, jaromir.cernik@ctp.eu 🔸Ronald Law, Business Developer China, rkmlaw@ctp.eu Read why CEE is an emerging solution for global business: 🔸 https://lnkd.in/dhuu4znD #FutureOfIndustry #Nearshoring #Semiconductors #SupplyChainManagement
