Taiwan's companies are the largest players in the global supply chain of microchips, a sector where the EU has proved a laggard. "Of course, the Lithuanian companies ... do have very concrete business plans when it comes to chip production here in Lithuania," Lithuanian Economy Minister Aušrinė Armonaitė said at a press conference. "We want Lithuania to participate in these very important value chains regarding chip manufacturing, that will be in huge, big demand in years to come."
In the same press conference, Taiwan's Minister for National Development Kung Ming-hsin said more money could flow Vilnius' way.
