Abstract

Background: Climate change represents a global challenge that cannot be mitigated by any single nation. Notably, CO2 emissions from the Southern Hemisphere are escalating rapidly, currently constituting two-thirds of the global total. The proactive efforts of India, which leads this group, are noteworthy.

Purpose: This study aims to elucidate the impact of international cooperation on decarbonization, with a specific focus on the semiconductor industry in India, a representative nation of the Global South. The current state of collaboration between Japan, Taiwan, and India serves as an exemplar of international efforts towards decarbonization. Furthermore, the strategic significance of industrial collaboration in the semiconductor sector among Japan, India, and Taiwan, and the potential for establishing a global semiconductor supply chain oriented towards decarbonization, are examined.

Method: This study employs a case study methodology to scrutinize the current status of international collaboration in the semiconductor industry among India, Japan, and Taiwan.

Result: The Japanese semiconductor industry, renowned for its advanced technical capabilities, necessitates the fortification of the global supply chain and technology transfer, with collaboration with India proving advantageous. Taiwan, actively expanding its presence in India, seeks to enhance the quality and efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing and to form diverse supply chains, thereby accelerating innovation through collaboration with Japan. A synergistic relationship in the semiconductor industry is being established among India, Japan, and Taiwan.

Conclusion: India possesses the potential to assume a pivotal role in the construction of a global semiconductor supply chain, with Japan and Taiwan identified as optimal partners. This collaboration is anticipated to bolster manufacturing capabilities aimed at decarbonization, contribute to international decarbonization efforts, and drive technological advancements as part
of global next-generation technology management.
