Filed under: Tech companies · Companies that support Israel
Background
TSMC has no recorded donations, investments or operations supporting Israel. The Taiwanese chip foundry has no fabs, offices or subsidiaries in Israel in its SEC filings; the only Israel mentions in its 20-F annual reports are boilerplate (Taiwan's double-taxation-treaty country list and an independent director's personal board seat at Israeli startup Foretellix). Its ties to Israel are ordinary customer and channel relationships: Israeli fabless chip designers manufacture at TSMC's Taiwan fabs, Avnet ASIC Israel serves as a TSMC-appointed channel partner (Value Chain Aggregator) for those customers, and TSMC held a customer technology workshop in Herzliya in 2022. Customer relationships of a contract manufacturer are not documented support.
