Top Tech in Taiwan: IPC's Blueprint to Advance Smart Manufacturing
June 4, 2025 | Sydney Xiao, IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Renowned as a global hub of innovation and a cornerstone of the electronics industry, Taiwan is leading advancements in technology and manufacturing. A decade ago, IPC established an office in Taiwan, embedding itself deeply in this innovative ecosystem. Now with nearly 200 member companies in the region, IPC remains dedicated to driving standardization, education, and technological progress in Taiwan’s electronics manufacturing sector.
In December 2024, we led a team on a multi-day visit to Taiwan that brimmed with potential. We centered our visit on smart manufacturing, and created a collaboration that envisions and shapes the industry’s future.
Learning from NVIDIA: A Step Into the Future
NVIDIA, a global leader in artificial intelligence and graphics computing, is revolutionizing smart manufacturing. In Taipei, our IPC team engaged in comprehensive discussions with NVIDIA representatives, exploring the transformative potential of technologies like NVIDIA Omniverse™ in enabling digitalization and intelligent manufacturing processes.
NVIDIA Omniverse is a platform of APIs, SDKs, and services that enable developers to integrate OpenUSD, NVIDIA RTX™ rendering technologies, and generative physical AI into existing software tools and simulation workflows for industrial and robotic use cases. Widely adopted across manufacturing, architecture, and design sectors, it serves as a vital tool for building next-generation digital ecosystems.
These dialogues not only broadened the possibilities for AI and 3D technology applications in manufacturing, but also set the stage for deeper, future-oriented collaborations between IPC and NVIDIA.

Critical Minerals: The New Power Play in Global Trade
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Access to critical minerals essential for electronics manufacturing, and China’s monopoly of them, is increasingly under scrutiny, with gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge)at the forefront of this discourse. However, all critical minerals imported from China share a similar narrative, and understanding the implications of this dependency and the risks to both U.S. commercial and defense sectors has created an urgent need for a comprehensive electronics strategy to secure and diversify access to these vital minerals. In this candid interview, USPAE Executive Director Jim Will discusses the issues and the mitigation steps that must be taken to adequately address them.
Interposers, Substrates, and Advanced Manufacturing
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007I attend a lot of industry trade shows and conferences. Lately, during conversations with technologists, I’ve noticed that there is some confusion about what exactly constitutes an interposer. One question I hear every so often is, “Are all interposers substrates?” The short answer to that question is no. But some interposers are, in fact, full substrates.
