Driver of a Computing Power Future

Alchip Technologies

Taiwan's thriving semiconductor sector demonstrates its economic strengths. The country produces more than 60% of global chip supply, and more than 90% of the most advanced ICs. In total, the semiconductor industry accounts for 15% of the country's GDP.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023, Alchip Technologies epitomises Taiwan's global semiconductor industry leadership. It is one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers application-specific of integrated circuits (ASICS), that are custom-made to perform very specific electronic functions. With an international presence in markets including Taiwan, the US, Japan, and China, the company is eyeing further international expansion.

"We are doing really well in greater Asia when someone wants to make a complicated ASIC chip, they come to us," says Alchip Technologies president and CEO Johnny Shen. "We have a lot of potential to grow in the US, and are open to broad international partnerships. We always deliver. When companies need computing power, they need a large-scale design with the most leading process and advanced package technologies, and that is where we come into conversation. We've designed more than 500 ASICS. All of the largest suppliers work with us, because we I have the field's most proven track record. When it comes to high-end integrated circuit companies, there are perhaps five in the world and we are one of them."

MELISSA PETERMAN

FOR MELISSA PETERMAN, THE FIRST SEASON OF NBC'S HAPPY'S PLACE WAS A dream come true; getting a second season is an embarrassment of riches. “Getting a pilot is the lottery. Getting that pilot picked up is another gigantic win that is getting rarer and rarer.” Peterman plays Gabby, friend and co-worker of Bobbie, played by Reba McEntire, owner of the fictional tavern Happy’s Place. The sitcom reunites Peterman and McEntire, who first appeared together on Reba. “I think there is value in the second banana. There's value in the sidekick.” While fans see her as way more than just a sidekick, Peterman knows how rare it is to get a second chance with a hit sitcom. “It’s almost more precious because I know how rare it is to get a second chance with your best friend.” Busier than ever, Peterman also co-hosts Hallmark's Finding Mr. Christmas. “I would be really sad if I didn’t get to host a game show or go be with people. I genuinely like people.”
