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.

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://asia.nikkei.com/...

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://twitter.com/...

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://asia.nikkei.com/...

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://twitter.com/...

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
