After long-term OEM collaboration with major international manufacturers, Taiwan’s IT industry has transformed from simple manufacture to an industry of global logistics in design and manufacturing. From setting up R&D and technical support centers to global production and operation centers, it’s these companies across the island who have made Taiwan's IT industry a driving force in the world market. Taiwan holds many first places the world, and is way out front in the manufacture of wafers, IC packing, laptops, LCD displays, and data servers.
