TL;DR

From late June to early July 2026, South Korea rolled out advanced-industry investments in a "national team" formation. At the 2026-06-29 presentation, it was announced that Samsung Electronics and SK hynix will invest KRW 800 trillion (about NT$16.6 trillion) in a new semiconductor production base in Korea's southwest, including 4 chip plants -- 2 built by each company -- to develop the southwest into a second semiconductor cluster; [F-003] the same event announced KRW 1,000 trillion (about NT$20.6 trillion) of AI data-center investment over the coming 10 years -- the science-and-technology minister Bae Kyung-hoon (rendered per the source's title wording) said KRW 550 trillion would be invested by 2029, and that by 2035 a 10-gigawatt (GW) AI data center would be added, with total AI data-center power capacity then exceeding 18.4 GW; [F-004] the overall public-private program is worth nearly US$1.2 trillion (over NT$37 trillion), and Lee Jae Myung said "speed is the only way to survive."

Body

Event-chain overview: the salvo timeline and three framing principles

From late June to early July 2026, Korea's advanced-industry investment announcements came in rapid succession: on 2026-06-24, SK hynix disclosed its US ADR fundraising plan (CNA #1231725); on 2026-06-25, the Korean presidential office previewed a public briefing on the "Korea Great Leap three super projects" (CNA #1231923); on 2026-06-26, the Korean daily Maeil Business Newspaper previewed Samsung Group's investment scale (CNA #1231923); on 2026-06-29, Lee Jae Myung presented the southwest semiconductor base and AI data-center program (CNA #1253054, CNA #1256745); on 2026-07-02, the Chungcheong development strategy followed (CNA #1296604). This card first sets three framing principles: first, every KRW figure in this card is at the "announcement / plan / target" level, not executed or funded investment; second, three different "KRW 1,000 trillion" figures appear in the reporting, with different subjects and scopes, and the sources do not explain how they relate -- this card lists them side by side, does not merge them, and does not adjudicate; third, all NT$/US$ conversions in parentheses are approximate figures attached in CNA's original articles, transcribed as-is with no independent conversion and no cross-article exchange-rate checking.

Chungcheong's KRW 392 trillion: merging the "balanced development hub" with the "advanced industry hub"

According to CNA's Seoul dispatch (citing Yonhap), on 2026-07-02 the Korean government held the "Chungcheong advanced industry development vision national report meeting" in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, unveiled the "Chungcheong next-generation advanced industry development strategy," and said it would launch an all-round policy package to support large-scale corporate investment: Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, Celltrion and other companies will invest about KRW 392 trillion (about NT$8 trillion) in the Chungcheong region, centered on semiconductors, displays, secondary batteries and components, and biotech (CNA #1296604). [F-001]

At the meeting, Lee Jae Myung said: "Chungcheong has unlimited growth potential. With companies' strategic investment and the government's firm will added to it, Chungcheong will not only become the center of Korea's advanced industries but will leap to become a world innovation core leading the AI era." He added that Chungcheong carries the dream of balanced national development, breaking the excessive concentration in the capital region -- "the great transformation that reopens Korea's overall growth space starts precisely from Chungcheong"; the government will not miss the major opportunity to merge the balanced-development hub with the advanced-industry hub and "will mobilize every available means to actively support companies," and, "on behalf of the people, I thank you for such a decisive decision" (CNA #1296604). [F-002] Per the same article, these companies unveiled the Chungcheong package "following the southwest-region investment plan announced on June 30" -- note that the southwest announcement is dated differently across articles: CNA's Seoul report of 2026-06-29 describes it as announced "today," so the two articles' date wordings differ; this card lists both and does not adjudicate (CNA #1296604, CNA #1256745).

The KRW 800 trillion southwest base and KRW 1,000 trillion for AI data centers: "speed is the only way to survive"

According to CNA's wire report (relaying AFP), Korea will invest nearly US$1.2 trillion (over NT$37 trillion) over the coming years to build a new semiconductor production base and AI data centers; presenting the public-private program, Lee Jae Myung said: "Speed is the only way to survive. We must secure the core elements of AI faster than any other country." (CNA #1256745) [F-005]

By component, Samsung Electronics and SK hynix will invest KRW 800 trillion (about NT$16.6 trillion) in the new semiconductor production base in Korea's southwest; the industry minister Kim Jung-kwan (rendered per the source's title wording) said the plan includes 4 chip plants -- with Samsung and SK hynix each building 2 under the KRW 800 trillion program -- and will develop the southwest into a second semiconductor cluster. He added: "Permit reviews and construction timelines will be shortened substantially to expand production capacity quickly. In this way we will maintain overwhelming market leadership in memory semiconductors and a clear technological lead." (CNA #1256745) [F-003] The pre-event preview reported that the new chip cluster would be sited in the under-developed southwest, including Gwangju and South Jeolla, and that Lee Jae Myung defended the southwest base on X, positioning it as a "national survival strategy" to ease regional imbalance and expand AI-era capacity (CNA #1253054). [F-006]

On the AI data-center side, the Korean government announced KRW 1,000 trillion (about NT$20.6 trillion) of investment over the coming 10 years; science-and-technology minister Bae Kyung-hoon said KRW 550 trillion would be invested by 2029, and that "by 2035 a 10-gigawatt (GW) AI data center will be added, at which point total AI data-center power capacity will exceed 18.4 GW and total investment will surpass KRW 1,000 trillion" (CNA #1256745). [F-004] Title note: the ministers' titles follow CNA's original wording verbatim ("產業通商部長," "科技部長"); this card does not rewrite them into other conventional renderings.

Three "KRW 1,000 trillion" figures are three different scopes: listed side by side, not merged, not adjudicated

"KRW 1,000 trillion" appears three times in this event chain, each with a different scope: first, the 2026-06-26 Korean-media preview (Maeil Business Newspaper, via Reuters) -- Samsung Group would announce KRW 1,000 trillion (about NT$20.6 trillion) of investment in Korea over 10 years, of which possibly KRW 300 trillion for chip plants in the southwest (CNA #1231923); [F-007] second, the Reuters preview ahead of the 2026-06-29 presentation -- in the southwest semiconductor cluster, Samsung Electronics and SK Group's investment over the coming years "could surpass" KRW 1,000 trillion (CNA #1253054); [F-006] third, the official announcement the same day -- KRW 1,000 trillion for AI data centers over 10 years, with total investment surpassing KRW 1,000 trillion by 2035 (CNA #1256745). [F-004] The three differ in subject (Samsung Group / Samsung Electronics and SK Group / AI data centers as a whole) and in scope, and the sources do not explain whether they contain or overlap one another. This card lists them side by side, does not merge them, and does not adjudicate. Likewise, the sources do not state how Chungcheong's KRW 392 trillion, the southwest's KRW 800 trillion and the nearly US$1.2 trillion total add up, so this card does not sum or convert them.

Funding side: SK hynix's US ADR raises about US$29 billion -- but for Yongin and Cheongju

Outside the national-team program, the conglomerate side already has a concrete fundraising move. According to CNA's wire report (relaying AFP and SK hynix's regulatory filing), SK hynix plans to issue 17.79 million new shares to float American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in the US, raising KRW 45.45 trillion (about US$29 billion), listing on Nasdaq on 2026-07-10; it filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in March 2026 (CNA #1231725). [F-008]

The framing must be pinned down: per SK hynix's regulatory filing, the ADR proceeds are for the first fab in the Yongin semiconductor cluster, an advanced-packaging plant in Cheongju, and chip-making equipment -- a separate matter from the southwest base. This card does not conflate the two, nor does it count the proceeds as funded money for the national-team program. As market background, SK hynix's Seoul-listed shares are up more than 300% since the start of 2026; its market capitalization first topped US$1 trillion in May 2026, and on 2026-06-22 it briefly surpassed Samsung Electronics to become Korea's most valuable listed company (CNA #1231725). [F-008]

Taiwan-side contrast 1: Chiu Ming-chien's "better a chicken's head" -- a constitution argument against a scale argument

Against Korea's nearly US$1.2 trillion (over NT$37 trillion) heavy-money offensive, the first Taiwanese response came from industry. Chiu Ming-chien (邱銘乾), chairman of Gudeng -- a maker of high-end semiconductor transport carriers -- and initiator of the Te-Hsin semiconductor alliance (德鑫半導體聯盟), said on 2026-06-30 that Taiwanese people have the entrepreneurial spirit of "better a chicken's head than an ox's tail," that small and mid-sized equipment makers fight all-out to survive, and that "even with the Korean government pouring in heavy money, this vibrant system is hard to replicate in a short time"; he noted that Korea's semiconductor industry has a completely different constitution from Taiwan's -- dominated by conglomerates, lacking a nimble SME system, with the best talent tending to join big conglomerates rather than start companies (CNA #1270121). [F-009]

At the same press event (the strategic alliance between equipment maker Ko Chiao Industry (科嶠工業) and US-based Brooks Automation), Ko Chiao chairman Wu Ming-chih (吳明致) said Taiwanese equipment makers' advantage lies in responding quickly to big customers' needs as markets shift; by focusing on the largest customers and doing their part well they can prevail, rather than comparing themselves directly with Korean companies (CNA #1270121). [F-009] Honest framing: these are personal comments by industry figures at a press event, not official statistics or research conclusions; "conglomerate concentration vs. SME ecosystem" is the speakers' framing, and this card presents both the Korean and Taiwanese narratives side by side without ranking them.

Taiwan-side contrast 2 + the Japan contrast: two "national ledgers" and the three-way stage gap in AI data centers

Turn to the other ledger kept on the very same day. This site's published card ANK-2026-07-03-001 records: on 2026-07-02 -- the same day as the Chungcheong announcement -- Taiwan's Investment Commission under the Ministry of Economic Affairs approved, for the 6th time, TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) injecting US$20 billion into its US subsidiary TSMC Arizona, bringing cumulative approved investment in its US plants to US$44 billion (an "approved" amount, not funds already deployed); Economics Minister Kung Ming-hsin also said TSMC's announced fabs under construction or in planning in Taiwan, plus CoWoS advanced-packaging capacity, total 16 facilities. The contrast: Korea books its national ledger under "domestic concentrated investment announcements," while Taiwan's counterpart ledger is booked under "outbound-investment administrative approvals" plus capacity built in Taiwan -- the two ledgers use entirely different accounting (plan announcements vs. administrative approvals; KRW plan amounts vs. US$ approved amounts), cannot be divided into each other for comparison, and this card presents them side by side without ranking.

AI data centers show a three-way stage gap across Taiwan, Japan and Korea. This site's published card ANK-2026-06-24-008 records (as of that card's publication on 2026-06-24): on the Japan side, a data center in the Osaka area traded for JPY 156 billion (1560億円), the largest single-asset data-center transaction in Japan (JLL's own corporate account), and JLL estimates Japan's data-center market (revenue basis) will grow from US$23.4 billion in 2024 to US$33.4 billion by 2030 (a 6.7% average annual growth rate); on the Taiwan side, the first AI computing-center BOO project was still under review (entry thresholds: investment above NT$300 million and computing power above 15 PetaFLOPS). Against Korea's current government target -- "KRW 1,000 trillion over 10 years, total power capacity exceeding 18.4 GW by 2035" -- the three sit at different stages: "government target announcements" (Korea), "market estimates and closed deals" (Japan), and "policy review" (Taiwan), with mutually different scopes (government targets / market estimates / policy thresholds); this card lists them side by side without converting or ranking.

FAQ

Q: Who is investing the KRW 392 trillion in the Chungcheong region, and in which fields?

Under the "Chungcheong next-generation advanced industry development strategy" unveiled on 2026-07-02, Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, Celltrion and other companies will invest about KRW 392 trillion (about NT$8 trillion) in the Chungcheong region, centered on semiconductors, displays, secondary batteries and components, and biotech; this is the announcement of an investment plan, not executed investment.

The Korean government unveiled the strategy at a national report meeting in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, and said it would launch an all-round policy package to support large-scale corporate investment; Lee Jae Myung said Chungcheong would "leap to become a world innovation core leading the AI era" (CNA #1296604).

Q: Is Chungcheong's KRW 392 trillion the same money as the southwest's KRW 800 trillion or the AI data centers' KRW 1,000 trillion?

The sources do not explain how the three add up or contain one another, and this card does not merge or convert them. Per CNA #1296604, Samsung Electronics and the other companies unveiled the Chungcheong package "following the southwest-region investment plan announced on June 30" -- successive announcements of distinct regional packages; the southwest's KRW 800 trillion (semiconductor production base) and the AI data centers' KRW 1,000 trillion over the coming 10 years come from the 2026-06-29 presentation (CNA #1256745). Whether they contain or double-count one another is not stated in the sources, and this card honestly lists them side by side.

Q: Why does "KRW 1,000 trillion" appear three times in the news?

Because they are three different scopes: first, the Korean daily Maeil Business Newspaper's preview of "Samsung Group investing KRW 1,000 trillion in Korea over the coming 10 years" (CNA #1231923); second, the Reuters pre-event preview that "Samsung Electronics and SK Group's investment over the coming years could surpass KRW 1,000 trillion" (CNA #1253054); third, the official announcement of "KRW 1,000 trillion for AI data centers over the coming 10 years" (with total investment surpassing KRW 1,000 trillion by 2035) (CNA #1256745). The subjects and scopes differ, the sources do not explain the relationships, and this card lists them side by side without merging or adjudicating.

Q: What does the "nearly US$1.2 trillion" refer to?

Per CNA #1256745 (relaying AFP), Korea will invest nearly US$1.2 trillion (over NT$37 trillion) "over the coming years" to build a new semiconductor production base and AI data centers -- the overall announcement figure for the public-private program. How it is composed of the component amounts (KRW 800 trillion, 1,000 trillion, 392 trillion) is not itemized in the sources, and this card does not attempt its own reconciliation.

Q: Where does the money come from? Is SK hynix's roughly US$29 billion ADR raised for the southwest base?

No. Per SK hynix's regulatory filing (as relayed by CNA #1231725), the KRW 45.45 trillion (about US$29 billion) ADR proceeds are for the first fab in the Yongin semiconductor cluster, an advanced-packaging plant in Cheongju, and chip-making equipment -- a separate matter from the southwest base, which this card does not conflate. SK hynix plans to issue 17.79 million new shares and list on Nasdaq on 2026-07-10; its Seoul-listed shares are up more than 300% since the start of 2026, its market capitalization first topped US$1 trillion in May 2026, and on 2026-06-22 it briefly surpassed Samsung Electronics. Funding details for the southwest and Chungcheong programs are not given in this pack's sources.

Q: How does Taiwan's industry view Korea's heavy-money offensive?

Gudeng chairman Chiu Ming-chien (邱銘乾), initiator of the Te-Hsin semiconductor alliance (德鑫半導體聯盟), argues that Taiwanese people have the entrepreneurial spirit of "better a chicken's head than an ox's tail," and that the vibrant system of small and mid-sized equipment makers fighting all-out to survive is "hard to replicate in a short time even with the Korean government pouring in heavy money"; he adds that Korea's semiconductor industry is dominated by conglomerates, lacks a nimble SME system, and its best talent tends to join big conglomerates rather than start companies. Ko Chiao Industry (科嶠工業) chairman Wu Ming-chih (吳明致) says Taiwanese equipment makers' advantage is responding quickly to big customers' shifting needs -- focus on the largest customers, do your part well, and you can prevail, rather than comparing directly with Korean companies (CNA #1270121). These are personal industry comments; this card presents the Korean and Taiwanese narratives side by side without ranking them.

Q: Compared with TSMC's US investment, how do the Taiwanese and Korean "national teams" keep their ledgers differently?

Korea books its national ledger under "domestic concentrated investment announcements" (the southwest's KRW 800 trillion, Chungcheong's KRW 392 trillion, the AI data centers' KRW 1,000 trillion -- all at announcement level); Taiwan's counterpart ledger (per this site's published card ANK-2026-07-03-001) is booked under "outbound-investment administrative approvals" -- on 2026-07-02 (the same day as the Chungcheong announcement), the Investment Commission approved, for the 6th time, TSMC injecting US$20 billion into TSMC Arizona, bringing cumulative approved US investment to US$44 billion (approved, not deployed), while Economics Minister Kung Ming-hsin said TSMC's fabs under construction or in planning in Taiwan plus CoWoS advanced-packaging capacity total 16 facilities. The two ledgers use entirely different accounting (plan announcements vs. administrative approvals; KRW plan amounts vs. US$ approved amounts), cannot be divided into each other for comparison, and this card presents them side by side without ranking.

Q: Where do Taiwan, Japan and Korea each stand on AI data centers?

The three sit at different stages with different scopes: Korea is at the "government target announcement" stage (KRW 1,000 trillion over the coming 10 years; total power capacity exceeding 18.4 GW by 2035); Japan is at the "market estimates and closed deals" stage -- this site's published card ANK-2026-06-24-008 records a data center in the Osaka area trading for JPY 156 billion (1560億円) (the largest single-asset data-center transaction in Japan, JLL's own corporate account), with JLL estimating Japan's data-center market growing from US$23.4 billion in 2024 to US$33.4 billion by 2030 (a 6.7% average annual growth rate); Taiwan is at the "policy review" stage -- the first AI computing-center BOO project (thresholds: investment above NT$300 million, computing power above 15 PetaFLOPS) was still under review as of that card's publication (2026-06-24). The scopes (government target / market estimate / policy threshold) differ, and this card lists them side by side without converting or ranking.

J-Units

J-001: Korea's current round of advanced-industry investment takes a "national-team salvo" form -- the government sets the framing (merging balanced-development hubs with advanced-industry hubs; "speed is the only way to survive"), conglomerates take up regional allocations (KRW 800 trillion in the southwest, KRW 392 trillion in Chungcheong), with KRW 1,000 trillion for AI data centers over the coming 10 years running alongside; but every amount is at the announcement / plan / target level, and execution progress awaits verification - confidence: medium - basis: news_aggregation

J-002: The three "KRW 1,000 trillion" figures in the reporting are three different scopes -- the Korean-media preview's "Samsung Group 10-year investment," the pre-event preview's "Samsung Electronics and SK Group total could surpass," and the official announcement's "AI data centers over 10 years / by 2035" -- the sources do not explain their relationships, and side-by-side listing without merging is the only honest treatment; on the funding side, SK hynix's ADR raise of KRW 45.45 trillion (about US$29 billion) shows a concrete conglomerate fundraising move, but its proceeds are for Yongin and Cheongju, not the southwest base, and cannot be counted as funded money for the national-team program - confidence: medium - basis: news_aggregation

J-003: The Taiwan-Korea contrast is "a scale argument versus a constitution argument" and "two national ledgers": Korea books its national ledger under domestic concentrated investment announcements (KRW 392 / 800 / 1,000 trillion), Taiwan's industry answers with an SME-ecosystem constitution argument, and TSMC's national ledger (this site's published card ANK-2026-07-03-001) is booked under the cumulative US$44 billion of approved US investment plus 16 facilities being built or planned in Taiwan -- the accounting methods and scopes differ, and this card presents them side by side without ranking - confidence: medium - basis: news_aggregation

❓ FAQ

Who is investing the KRW 392 trillion in the Chungcheong region, and in which fields?

Under the "Chungcheong next-generation advanced industry development strategy" unveiled on 2026-07-02, Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, Celltrion and other companies will invest about KRW 392 trillion (about NT$8 trillion) in the Chungcheong region, centered on semiconductors, displays, secondary batteries and components, and biotech; this is the announcement of an investment plan, not executed investment. The Korean government unveiled the strategy at a national report meeting in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, and said it would launch an all-round policy package to support large-scale corporate investment; Lee Jae Myung said Chungcheong would "leap to become a world innovation core leading the AI era" (CNA #1296604).

Is Chungcheong's KRW 392 trillion the same money as the southwest's KRW 800 trillion or the AI data centers' KRW 1,000 trillion?

The sources do not explain how the three add up or contain one another, and this card does not merge or convert them. Per CNA #1296604, Samsung Electronics and the other companies unveiled the Chungcheong package "following the southwest-region investment plan announced on June 30" -- successive announcements of distinct regional packages; the southwest's KRW 800 trillion (semiconductor production base) and the AI data centers' KRW 1,000 trillion over the coming 10 years come from the 2026-06-29 presentation (CNA #1256745). Whether they contain or double-count one another is not stated in the sources, and this card honestly lists them side by side.

Why does "KRW 1,000 trillion" appear three times in the news?

Because they are three different scopes: first, the Korean daily Maeil Business Newspaper's preview of "Samsung Group investing KRW 1,000 trillion in Korea over the coming 10 years" (CNA #1231923); second, the Reuters pre-event preview that "Samsung Electronics and SK Group's investment over the coming years could surpass KRW 1,000 trillion" (CNA #1253054); third, the official announcement of "KRW 1,000 trillion for AI data centers over the coming 10 years" (with total investment surpassing KRW 1,000 trillion by 2035) (CNA #1256745). The subjects and scopes differ, the sources do not explain the relationships, and this card lists them side by side without merging or adjudicating.

What does the "nearly US$1.2 trillion" refer to?

Per CNA #1256745 (relaying AFP), Korea will invest nearly US$1.2 trillion (over NT$37 trillion) "over the coming years" to build a new semiconductor production base and AI data centers -- the overall announcement figure for the public-private program. How it is composed of the component amounts (KRW 800 trillion, 1,000 trillion, 392 trillion) is not itemized in the sources, and this card does not attempt its own reconciliation.

Where does the money come from? Is SK hynix's roughly US$29 billion ADR raised for the southwest base?

No. Per SK hynix's regulatory filing (as relayed by CNA #1231725), the KRW 45.45 trillion (about US$29 billion) ADR proceeds are for the first fab in the Yongin semiconductor cluster, an advanced-packaging plant in Cheongju, and chip-making equipment -- a separate matter from the southwest base, which this card does not conflate. SK hynix plans to issue 17.79 million new shares and list on Nasdaq on 2026-07-10; its Seoul-listed shares are up more than 300% since the start of 2026, its market capitalization first topped US$1 trillion in May 2026, and on 2026-06-22 it briefly surpassed Samsung Electronics. Funding details for the southwest and Chungcheong programs are not given in this pack's sources.

How does Taiwan's industry view Korea's heavy-money offensive?

Gudeng chairman Chiu Ming-chien (邱銘乾), initiator of the Te-Hsin semiconductor alliance (德鑫半導體聯盟), argues that Taiwanese people have the entrepreneurial spirit of "better a chicken's head than an ox's tail," and that the vibrant system of small and mid-sized equipment makers fighting all-out to survive is "hard to replicate in a short time even with the Korean government pouring in heavy money"; he adds that Korea's semiconductor industry is dominated by conglomerates, lacks a nimble SME system, and its best talent tends to join big conglomerates rather than start companies. Ko Chiao Industry (科嶠工業) chairman Wu Ming-chih (吳明致) says Taiwanese equipment makers' advantage is responding quickly to big customers' shifting needs -- focus on the largest customers, do your part well, and you can prevail, rather than comparing directly with Korean companies (CNA #1270121). These are personal industry comments; this card presents the Korean and Taiwanese narratives side by side without ranking them.

Compared with TSMC's US investment, how do the Taiwanese and Korean "national teams" keep their ledgers differently?

Korea books its national ledger under "domestic concentrated investment announcements" (the southwest's KRW 800 trillion, Chungcheong's KRW 392 trillion, the AI data centers' KRW 1,000 trillion -- all at announcement level); Taiwan's counterpart ledger (per this site's published card ANK-2026-07-03-001) is booked under "outbound-investment administrative approvals" -- on 2026-07-02 (the same day as the Chungcheong announcement), the Investment Commission approved, for the 6th time, TSMC injecting US$20 billion into TSMC Arizona, bringing cumulative approved US investment to US$44 billion (approved, not deployed), while Economics Minister Kung Ming-hsin said TSMC's fabs under construction or in planning in Taiwan plus CoWoS advanced-packaging capacity total 16 facilities. The two ledgers use entirely different accounting (plan announcements vs. administrative approvals; KRW plan amounts vs. US$ approved amounts), cannot be divided into each other for comparison, and this card presents them side by side without ranking.

Where do Taiwan, Japan and Korea each stand on AI data centers?

The three sit at different stages with different scopes: Korea is at the "government target announcement" stage (KRW 1,000 trillion over the coming 10 years; total power capacity exceeding 18.4 GW by 2035); Japan is at the "market estimates and closed deals" stage -- this site's published card ANK-2026-06-24-008 records a data center in the Osaka area trading for JPY 156 billion (1560億円) (the largest single-asset data-center transaction in Japan, JLL's own corporate account), with JLL estimating Japan's data-center market growing from US$23.4 billion in 2024 to US$33.4 billion by 2030 (a 6.7% average annual growth rate); Taiwan is at the "policy review" stage -- the first AI computing-center BOO project (thresholds: investment above NT$300 million, computing power above 15 PetaFLOPS) was still under review as of that card's publication (2026-06-24). The scopes (government target / market estimate / policy threshold) differ, and this card lists them side by side without converting or ranking. ---
