Government agencies in Taiwan have taken measures to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in recent years, with the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), and National Development Council (NDC) offering subsidies and guidance to foster more US$1 billion unicorns and accelerate industrial transformation into knowledge and applied services. Yet many of these startups have failed to rise out of the doldrums: even though their founders have vanished, these companies still exist in name only without being dissolved.

Dosilicon Co. has doubled down on Lisuan Technology, a Chinese GPU startup with no revenue but soaring investor attention. The Shanghai firm raised CNY500 million (US$70 million) in new funding, lifting its valuation to CNY4.21 billion.

The Korea Display Industry Association (KDIA) reported that the combined revenue of South Korean panel companies reached US$10 billion in the first quarter of 2025, marking a return to the billion-dollar milestone after three years. This growth was primarily driven by increased demand for high-end OLED panels and customers placing early orders due to concerns over US tariffs.
