Abstract

The ALMA telescope has been producing ground-breaking science since 2011, but it is mostly based on technology from the 2000s. In order to keep ALMA competitive in the coming decade, timely updates are necessary in order to further improve the science output of the telescope in the coming decades. In this contribution, we will present the status of the different projects and studies which constitute the contribution of East Asia to the ALMA Development Program, such as the production of band 1 receivers, the development of band 2 receivers optics, and of the ACA spectrometer. We will also update on the different hardware and software studies towards the implementation of the ALMA Development Roadmap and additional opportunities.
