India, Singapore strengthen ties in advanced manufacturing, semiconductors

India and Singapore are cooperating in critical sectors like advanced manufacturing and semiconductors as the relations are on a "new trajectory" of growth, Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam said on Thursday. Shanmugaratnam, on a five-day visit to India, held separate talks with President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a broad focus on further expansion of the bilateral ties. The Singapore president told reporters that a data corridor between the GIFT City in Gujarat and his country is being explored so that the financial institutions of the two sides can exchange data on a safe and trusted basis. He said the possibility of a "corridor for renewable energy" between India and Singapore is also being looked at. Delving into strong Singapore-India ties in the last few decades, he said the two countries are now on a new trajectory of cooperation after the ties were upgraded to a comprehensive strategic partnership during Modi's visit to the city state in

Taiwan takes another step in production of AI chips with advanced new plant

Taiwan took another step in enhancing its key role in the production of advanced semiconductor chips used for artificial intelligence on Thursday with the inauguration of a new plant by Siliconware Precision Industries Co. The opening ceremony for the Tan-Ke factory in the central city of Taichung was attended by Jensen Huang, CEO and co-founder of California-based Nvidia Corp, a world leader in the design of AI chips, reinforcing the companies' partnership in the production of advanced AI chips. SPIL is a leader in semiconductor packaging and testing. The technology that we're working on is becoming more sophisticated. Chips are getting more and more complex, and the packaging technology will need to evolve as well. What's even more exciting is the integration of silicon photonics, enabling us to connect multiple packages into one massive system, Huang said. He said Nvidia's partnership with SPIL would be instrumental in pushing the boundaries of innovation in coming years. Huang
