SEMICON Taiwan Guide: Taipei Chip Show, Tickets and Leads
By Ilyas Kerbal,
SEMICON Taiwan is SEMI’s flagship show in the world’s most important chipmaking hub. The 2026 edition, themed “Transform Tomorrow”, set records with more than 1,300 exhibitors and 4,300 booths, and expected over 100,000 professionals from 65 countries. TSMC’s ecosystem sets the agenda: advanced packaging, AI chip manufacturing, memory and smart fabs. For equipment, materials and service suppliers, the SEMICON Taiwan attendee list is as close as it gets to the centre of the industry.

Getting meetings at SEMICON Taiwan
Registration, forum booking and exhibitor search are on semicontaiwan.org. Meetings with TSMC-tier buyers need to be arranged well in advance; they don’t happen by walking up to a booth. An enriched list of the people attending from foundries, OSATs and their suppliers is the foundation for that outreach.

I’m Ilyas, and through Prospector I build enriched attendee, exhibitor and speaker lists for B2B sales teams: job titles, companies, company size, industry, LinkedIn profiles and work emails where available, delivered as a CSV or Excel file that imports straight into HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive. Tell me which event you’re going to and who you sell to, and I’ll take it from there.
