Chips industrial policy arms race is taking off. Congress’s “big” support for the sector may end up appearing pedestrian or even small. US & others need to speed up consultations & coordination. https://t.co/EdfuShU7o1

Note: If Japan ends up pledging subsidies/incentives valued up to half the project, then we have truly entered a new era in government support for the global semiconductor industry. Chip makers with the size, technology and financial strength will be big winners.

The Sony-TSMC factory stands to win government subsidies from Japan valued up to half the amount of the (reportedly 800 billion yen) investment, or 400 billion yen (US$3.56 billion), Taiwan media report, citing Japan media. 1/2 $SONY $TSM #semiconductor

Good move by Japan. Interesting to note that the total investment in the project is estimated at 800 billion yen ($7 billion), with the Japanese government expected to provide up to half the amount. https://t.co/5sbA9I1fKH

Renesas is one of the companies that would stand to benefit from TSMC's investment in Japan.

It was also nice to see two of Japan's best semiconductor names -- Sony and Denso -- step up to the plate and take on the task of producing chips in Japan. https://t.co/z8Tx5Z9oCY
Sony to join TSMC on a $7 billion chip plant in Japan. 50% funding is by the Japanese Government.

Why can't we have a similar model in India? A big group (Tata, Reliance or ), TSMC & Indian government coming together. #EIIRTrend #semiconductor https://t.co/PeKTdT9XMO
