Taiwan · From collaboration to qualified supply

Conceptual gold-and-blue illustration for From Silicon Island to Quantum Island.

01

Collaborate

  • Research and industry
  • partnerships

02

Validate

  • Joint development
  • Supplier qualification

03

Deliver

  • Repeatable components
  • Customer orders

Watch for: Joint validation · Supplier qualification · Orders

Where does Taiwan fit in the quantum supply chain? Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs is starting to answer it

Policy is shifting

  • Apr 2026: Quantum Industry Technology Promotion Office launched
  • From funding research to enabling validation and industrialization

Partnerships focus on manufacturing

  • Sep 2026: MoUs with SEEQC (US), NantOptiFab (US) and Fujitsu (Japan) at SEMICON Taiwan
  • Taiwan's role: not building a full quantum computer, but becoming an indispensable manufacturing partner

Infrastructure is coming

  • ITRI's 12-inch R&D pilot line is under construction, with quantum as one focus

What to watch: MoU → orders

  • Joint development and validation
  • Supply-chain qualification and orders
  • Volume-ready key components

Taiwan didn't win in semiconductors by shipping the first end product. It won by becoming the world's most indispensable manufacturing partner. Quantum may follow a similar path.

Which part of Taiwan's quantum ecosystem will be the first to move from MoU to orders?


從矽島走向量子島

台灣在量子供應鏈的位置在哪裡?經濟部最近的動作,給了一個方向

國際合作聚焦製造能力

  • 2026/9 SEMICON Taiwan 期間,量子產業技術推動辦公室與 SEMI,和 SEEQC(美)、NantOptiFab(美)、Fujitsu(日)簽署合作備忘錄
  • 台灣的角色不是做出完整量子電腦,而是成為不可或缺的製造夥伴

基礎建設在路上

  • 工研院 12 吋研發試產線興建中,量子是重點方向之一

接下來要看的不是 MOU 數量,而是能否轉化成:

  • 共同開發與技術驗證
  • 供應鏈認證與訂單
  • 可量產的關鍵元件

我的觀察:

台灣量子產業的發展路徑,可能與過去半導體產業的成功經驗有相似之處。

不一定要率先推出最先進的終端量子電腦,而是透過關鍵技術、製造能力與全球產業合作,在下一代運算架構中建立不可替代的供應鏈地位。

從「矽島」走向「量子島」,真正值得期待的是台灣能否將既有的半導體優勢,轉化為下一個具有全球競爭力的產業機會。

您覺得台灣量子產業最先跨過「從 MOU 到訂單」這一步的,會是哪個環節?
