Abstract:
In 2021, TSMC, the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer, entered Kumamoto Prefecture and announced plans to build a second factory, scheduled for completion in 2027. Today, our prefecture is dramatically increasing its visibility both domestically and internationally as it works to revitalize our Kyushu Silicon Island. Since taking office, Governor Kimura has welcomed an increasing number of courtesy visits from overseas VIPs seeking to strengthen economic exchanges, creating a truly once-in-a-century opportunity to advance the prefecture’s international expansion. Today, I would like to introduce the current state of Kumamoto Prefecture and use this valuable opportunity to exchange views with you all regarding our international strategy.
