Although Taiwan accounts for less than 0.02% of the world's landmass, it has become an indispensable force in the age of AI and advanced chipmaking through its outsized role in the global semiconductor industry. This remarkable story is chronicled in A Chip Odyssey, a documentary that traces the rise of Taiwan's semiconductor sector and its emergence as a cornerstone of the modern digital economy.
Before the film, local leaders will offer brief remarks highlighting the growing importance of the partnership between Taiwan and Ohio.
