Doris Hsu, CEO of Taiwan silicon wafer supplier GlobalWafers and a member of Forbes Asia’s Power Businesswoman List in 2022, was named the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year for 2023 at an award ceremony held in Monaco, EY said today.
GlobalWafers announced last year would invest up to $5 billion in a new wafer plant in Texas that would create as many as 1,500 jobs. I interviewed Hsu in November about the Texas project and in January about the possibility of GlobalWafers’ parent Sino-American Silicon Products investing in solar module production in the U.S.
