Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC is feeling “good” about talks over a possible first European factory in Germany and is discussing subsidies with the host country’s government, the company’s chairman said on Tuesday.

TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, has been in talks with the German state of Saxony since 2021 about building a fabrication plant, or “fab,” in Dresden.
