Great changes in Huida hit Taichung? "Such businesses" are anxious to wait and see

The Zhongke Park connects AI industry supply chains such as wafer manufacturing, packaging and testing, memory, optical components and mechanical equipment.

In response to the resignation of NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan said today that the Economic Development Bureau has proactively paid attention to the local AI upstream and downstream supply chains to understand the extent of the impact and the need for assistance. The Economic Development Bureau stated that after contacting major AI supply chain companies, industrial associations and industrial parks in Taichung, the industry generally stated that they have long-term cooperative relationships with international customers, that existing long-term orders continue to be shipped stably, and that operations and investment plans remain generally normal; only some precision machinery companies have a wait-and-see attitude towards new projects in the near future.

Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan attended an event at the Dajia Second Market today and was interviewed. She pointed out that because Huida is the world's leading AI company, Huida's high-level personnel changes will have an impact on the world, including Taiwan. Director of Economic Development Zhang Fengyuan pointed out that Taichung uses the Zhongke Park and Dadushan Precision Machinery Industry Cluster as important foundations to connect wafer manufacturing, packaging and testing, memory, optical components and mechanical equipment and other fields. Different players participate in the AI ​​industry at different stages and product development stages.

After consulting with important supply chain companies in Taichung, as well as Tan Yashen, Jia'anpu, Wuri Xinan, the Manufacturers Association of Specific Factories and Industrial Parks under their jurisdiction, as well as woodworking machinery, machine tools, machinery and other industry associations, many industry players said that the AI ​​supply chain emphasizes long-term technical certification and stable supply, and it is not easy to establish customer cooperation relationships. Most of the orders are medium and long-term contracts, which will not change due to personnel changes in a single company. Current operations, investment plans and product development will not be affected. Only some companies, because their product development involves fields such as robots and new equipment, have said that they will postpone new projects in the near future and wait and see first.
