Construction of an advanced chip factory in the UAE is being actively considered by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), the world’s largest contract chipmaker.
The company has held discussions with officials from former U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration about the feasibility of establishing a cutting-edge semiconductor facility in the Emirates.
This potential project marks a significant strategic move to expand TSMC’s global manufacturing footprint into the Middle East.
The initiative, if approved, would position the UAE as a pioneering hub for high-tech semiconductor production in the region.
However, industry sources confirm that the project remains contingent on Washington’s explicit approval due to its geopolitical sensitivity and advanced technology transfer implications, underscoring the critical role of U.S. support in bringing this venture to reality.
