Build your Taiwan supply chain around the product you need to ship.
A robotics, edge-AI or sensing product needs more than a list of suppliers. Yushan helps foreign hardware teams identify the right Taiwan partners, prepare a clear inquiry and compare the options for a first build.
Start with the missing part of your build.
Bring a product roadmap, a prototype or a bill of materials. We help identify which work belongs in Taiwan and what must be sourced elsewhere. An introduction is the start of a supplier discussion, not proof of available capacity.
Silicon
Foundry and design-house options, node choices and supply-chain questions for AI chips and other semiconductor products.
Displays, optics and sensing
Partner searches across display technologies, microLED, microoptics, photonics and sensing.
Components and boards
Review the bill of materials against Taiwan supplier capability, including board and component partners.
Build and ramp
Identify suitable assembly and build partners, prepare quoting discussions and support the relationship through first article and ramp.
Make the first inquiry specific enough to answer.
A prototype run and a volume programme need different partners. We check the proposed quantity, process and schedule with the supplier instead of assuming a large manufacturer will accept a small order.
Prepare these inputs
- A short product description and the application it must work in.
- A bill of materials, with critical parts and acceptable alternatives marked.
- Available drawings, design files and test requirements. Agree confidentiality before sharing sensitive files.
- Prototype quantity, expected first order and later volume range.
- Target dates, budget range and required quality or certification checks.
- Who on your team can answer engineering questions.
If the design is not ready
Say what exists and what is still open. We can scope a partner search around that gap. Suppliers may need more detail before they can quote. A directory cannot resolve an incomplete specification.
What a quote needs to settle
Quantity, tooling or setup costs, lead time, test scope and the assumptions behind the price. These are questions for the supplier, not numbers we promise in advance.
From a build question to a checked partner discussion.
Define the gap
Agree the product needs, supplier layers, volume and constraints. Output: a clear search and inquiry brief.
Screen the options
Identify candidate partners and check capability and willingness to discuss the proposed order. Output: a shortlist with open questions.
Prepare the inquiry
Help route the right information to the selected counterparts. Output: introductions and a structured quoting discussion.
Compare and follow through
Support communication around quotes, first article and next steps. Output: a comparison and a record of remaining decisions.
The exact work and deliverables are agreed for each engagement.
Yushan's role
We are an advisory and scouting firm. We map the options, qualify potential counterparts and help both sides communicate. Your engineers own the design and technical acceptance. Manufacturers own their quotes, production and quality commitments.
What we do not promise
No guaranteed foundry allocation, minimum order, lead time, manufacturing price or production outcome. Access depends on the process, volume, readiness and capacity. Investor introductions may be possible; funding is never promised.
Rebellions: Taiwan foundry and design-house strategy
For the Korean AI-chip company, the work covered the dual-foundry question, node selection against the roadmap and where capacity was constrained. Delivered in 2023-2024 through Mosaic Venture Lab. This is a past engagement, not a promise of access for another company.

What do you need to build?
Email a short product description, the supplier layer you need, your prototype or order quantity and target timing. Do not attach confidential design files until a sharing process is agreed. We will discuss whether the work fits.
