Taipei News (November 7, 2024) – With the rapid development of smart cars globally, there is no doubt that the car electronics supply chain is an important element. Meanwhile, on October 30, 2024, the “2024 Taiwan-Japan Industry Collaboration Bridge Forum in Tokyo” was held at Okura Tokyo. Key industry leaders were invited to the forum to discuss the importance of the car electronics supply chain and its development prospects in the rapid development of smart cars in the global market. It pointed out that with the rapid development of smart cars worldwide, there is a need for flexible restructuring of supply chains in related industries such as electric vehicles, V2X, and smart cockpits, and that semiconductor AI chips will play an important role. It was emphasized that cross-border regional cooperation is an important point in building a smart car supply chain in order to respond to the diversifying transformation. The forum was organized by the Shiseiken Kogyo Shinkai Foundation (Chiseikai), and included Japanese car electronics manufacturers such as DENSO, Pioneer, ASTEMO, and AGC, as well as more than 120 representatives from industry, academia, and research from Japan and Taiwan. I attended. Industry leaders who participated in the forum emphasized that the industry needs to build a more resilient global supply chain and distribution system to keep pace with global smart car developments, and encouraged companies from both Japan and Taiwan to build stronger global supply chains and distribution systems. He stated that it is necessary to actively exchange and cooperate and together increase our
competitiveness in the global market. Additionally, the participants highly praised this forum as having an important significance in promoting smart car exchange between Japan and Taiwan. Mr. Hong Chun-hui, director of the Industrial Policy Association, introduced the development trends of the global electric vehicle market and deeply analyzed business opportunities in the Japan-Taiwan electric vehicle supply chain, as well as potential cooperation models between Japan and Taiwan. In the future, Taiwanese manufacturers will provide complete software/hardware solutions for smart cockpits and in-vehicle systems, and will focus on further cooperation in the fields of AI sensors, ADAS, and in-vehicle chips. He said that by leveraging the advantages of advanced manufacturing technology, we will be able to become an even more ideal partner. Dr. Lin Genyuan, vice chairman of the Taiwan Advanced Vehicle Technology Development Association (TADA), said that Taiwan’s smart car electronics development strategy and ICT supply chain support have laid the early foundations for
electrification, and that AI can be implemented on a large scale. He said that models are the decisive key to making cockpits and vehicles smarter and more differentiated. Moreover, Taiwan’s ICT supply chain has strengths such as one-stop shopping, software/hardware
integration, customization, and mass production capabilities, making it an optimal partner and strategic partner for Japanese automakers’ transition to electrification. He concluded by saying that the company is also a partner that provides important value. Tetsuo Shimamura, Director of Mitsubishi UFJ Research & Consulting, introduced the development status of vehicle electrification in Japan, using comparisons with overseas countries. Japan places great emphasis on the importance of international and inter-industry collaboration in vehicle electrification, and is actively pursuing new international collaborations in various solutions such as development platforms, software and hardware integration, and connected car communication safety. I mentioned that we are actively working on exploring cooperation models. Cao Xikang, General Manager of MediaTek’s Automotive Products Division, explained the design and technology trends of next-generation automotive chips and how generative AI will improve the user experience and software-defined vehicle (SDV) applications in future automotive chips. He said that it has great potential to further strengthen its value. AUO Japan President Koji Ishibashi provided detailed analysis of smart car cockpit market trends, shared insights on applications through cooperation with global strategic partners, and further introduced the next generation smart cockpit solution Smart Cockpit 2024. , technologies such as display apps inside and outside the smart cockpit and human-computer interaction were explained. Furthermore, Mirco LED transparent displays, which have won numerous international awards, were exhibited at the venue, and the event concluded by stating that the company continues to pursue the creation of new value in display technology. This forum will explore Japan-Taiwan cooperation strategies in the car electronics market and aim to build a more resilient global supply chain and distribution system, so that both Japanese and Taiwanese industries can have high competitiveness and influence in the smart car electronics market. At the same time, it served as a venue for discovering potential opportunities for industrial cooperation between the two countries.
