ASML and Tata Electronics have signed an agreement supporting India’s semiconductor ambitions. As India aims to build at least ten advanced chip facilities, the country is shifting from a software-focused technology economy toward strategic industrial manufacturing capacity.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure connects cities, industries and markets, enabling Asia’s economic expansion and regional integration.
Quantum computing is becoming more than a technological breakthrough. Across Asia and beyond, it is evolving into a strategic contest over infrastructure, standards, cybersecurity and control—reshaping how power is organized in an increasingly interconnected digital world.
As the internet moves beyond screens and into factories, ports and urban infrastructure, Asia is emerging as the global leader of the physical internet. Dense industrial ecosystems, coordinated infrastructure policy and manufacturing scale are giving the region structural advantages the West increasingly struggles to match.
The internet is no longer confined to apps, platforms and screens. Across Asia, sensors, embedded systems and connected infrastructure are transforming factories, cities and energy networks into realtime computational environments — reshaping how societies operate, govern and compete.
As chip innovation shifts beyond transistor scaling, advanced packaging has become essential to performance. ASE Technology operates at this critical layer, transforming silicon into functional systems and quietly enabling the next generation of AI, computing and global digital infrastructure.
For decades, Europe built its digital world from the ground up. Fibre followed roads. Mobile masts followed population density. Connectivity was something engineers could point at — tangible, terrestrial and geographically bounded. When networks failed, the causes were usually visible: a storm, a cut cable, a damaged site. That mental model is no longer sufficient.
