SanDisk Corp used its August 13, 2026 investor day to detail a technology roadmap and a set of financial targets it says will carry the flash-memory maker through the end of the decade. The plans center on new multiyear supply contracts with data center customers and an accelerating NAND product cadence built around artificial intelligence inference workloads.
Taiwanese test interface provider MPI said that continued strong expansion demand from global artificial intelligence (AI) customers, along with its growing global market share in mid- to high-end test interfaces, drove both revenue and profit to record highs in the second quarter of 2026. The company added that probe card capacity remained fully utilized as demand outpaces supply.

Amid escalating geopolitical tensions, defense awareness is rising rapidly worldwide, with drone and counter-drone technologies becoming key areas of development for governments and defense industries. Taiwan is also continuing to upgrade technologies for radar detection, missile defense, and other military systems.
