SK Hynix has increased the cash portion of its profit-sharing bonus in a revised tentative wage agreement, after production workers rejected an earlier stock-heavy proposal by just 25 votes.

National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Minister Cheng-Wen Wu visited the UK and Belgium in early September to advance Taiwan-Europe cooperation on advanced semiconductor packaging, silicon photonics (SiPh), and talent exchange, while also strengthening supply chain resilience. The trip included undisclosed government assignments as well as public events.

Jensen Huang used a Goldman Sachs conference appearance to argue that the constraints on AI's build-out are expanding from silicon into finance, and that Nvidia's next unlock is getting its systems recognized as collateral rather than as depreciating equipment. "We're moving Nvidia Compute from technology to an investable asset," the founder and chief executive told the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, calling it "a huge untapped opportunity" that "at the moment, none of it is being valued."

MediaTek reported August 2026 revenue of NT$64.183 billion (approx. US$2.03 billion), up 32.41% from July and 44.08% year-over-year. Industry sources said the chipmaker's August performance came in well above expectations and puts its third-quarter revenue guidance within reach, with a chance to beat it.

Breaking from the industry's mainstream reliance on III-V compound semiconductors, Taiwanese startup Taiwan Nano & Micro-Photonics (N&M) is using complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) processes to develop a single chip capable of emitting more than four wavelengths of mid- to far-infrared light.
