Overview

• TSMC plans to open its first European chip design center in Munich in Q3 2025 to help local and regional partners optimize high-performance, energy-efficient chips for automotive, industrial and AI applications.
• The Munich facility will be TSMC’s tenth global design hub and is designed to integrate design technology co-optimization directly with on-site manufacturing capabilities.
• Work is underway on a €10 billion Dresden semiconductor plant built in partnership with Infineon, Bosch and NXP that will initially produce 22-nanometer automotive microcontroller units with scope for future node upgrades.
• TSMC reported Q1 2025 net sales of $25.53 billion, a 41.6% increase year-over-year, and forecasts Q2 revenue of $28.4 billion to $29.2 billion, reflecting robust demand for AI chips.
• The company’s European investments aim to reduce exposure to global tariff uncertainties and strengthen support for local chip developers and industrial clients.
