MOEA: Phoenix Taiwan Trade Center Inaugurated to Build Resilient Global Supply Chains

To deepen Taiwan-U.S. supply chain cooperation, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) announced today that Minister Kung Ming-hsin visited Arizona to preside over the inauguration of the Phoenix Taiwan Trade and Investment Center. He also toured TSMC''s advanced semiconductor manufacturing site in the state. The MOEA looks forward to building a more resilient transnational supply chain system through public-private partnership. The Phoenix center is the second trade and investment service outpost established by the MOEA in the U.S., joining the Dallas center in assisting Taiwanese enterprises with their U.S. market presence and participation in local manufacturing and innovation ecosystems. During his visit for the SelectUSA Investment Summit, Minister Kung met with state and city officials to help businesses understand the investment environment and explored the potential for developing industrial clusters in the U.S. using the ''Taiwan Model.'' Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs emphasized the unprecedented relationship between Taiwan and Arizona, noting their commitment to innovation and technology. In 2025, bilateral trade reached $21.237 billion, with Taiwan becoming Arizona''s largest source of imports. Minister Kung noted that TSMC''s first Arizona fab is already profitable, demonstrating that Taiwan''s strength can extend into the U.S. to create high-paying jobs and new business opportunities based on mutual trust.
