For decades, chip design and production were vertically integrated, with each company making its own chips. This limited innovation, slowed production, and created enormous barriers to entry.

With $TSM, the process is radically more efficient!

The best chip designers like Apple, NVIDIA, and AMD don't own the factory anymore, they focus on innovation, while $TSM brings their ideas to life with cutting-edge manufacturing at nanometer precision.

Its unmatched scale and process leadership, from 5nm to the upcoming 2nm nodes, make it the critical enabler of AI, 5G, autonomous vehicles, and cloud computing.

Doesn't matter who wins the AI chip design race, TSMC already won the AI chip manufacturing race!

15/ $Alibaba(BABA)$

Alibaba is the $AMZN of China, using many of the same strategies that propelled Amazon to Western domination in China and the rest of Asia.

The company is reshaping China’s digital economy by combining e-commerce scale, fintech innovation, and cloud AI infrastructure into one powerful ecosystem.

With $BABA, the process is radically streamlined, Taobao and Tmall connect hundreds of millions of consumers with merchants, Alipay powers secure digital payments and financial inclusion, and Alibaba Cloud provides AI-driven infrastructure that supports businesses at every scale.

AI is fuelling smart logistics, robotics, and recommendations across the ecosystem, making commerce faster, smarter, and more efficient.
