Nvidia to boost spending in Taiwan to $150 bn a year
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced plans to triple annual investment in Taiwan to $150 billion, calling it the 'epicenter of the AI revolution' due to its semiconductor manufacturing dominance. The move follows record quarterly revenue of $81.6 billion, driven by surging AI hardware demand, as Nvidia expands its ecosystem with a new 4,000-engineer office in Taipei ahead of Computex 2026.
Nvidia will triple its annual investment in Taiwan to $150 billion, CEO Jensen Huang announced Wednesday in Taipei, positioning the island as the 'epicenter of the AI revolution.' The decision comes as Taiwan’s semiconductor industry—home to TSMC and Foxconn—remains critical for producing AI chips and assembling data center servers. Huang stated Nvidia’s spending will grow from $100 billion to $150 billion yearly, supporting Taiwan’s booming AI hardware exports and ecosystem. The announcement follows Nvidia’s record first-quarter revenue of $81.6 billion, an 85% year-over-year jump fueled by AI infrastructure demand. Net profit surged to $58.3 billion, underscoring Nvidia’s dominance in AI chip supply. Huang highlighted Taiwan’s role in manufacturing, packaging, and assembling AI systems, calling it essential for global supercomputers. Nvidia’s new Taipei office will house about 4,000 engineers, reinforcing its commitment to co-engineering with local partners like TSMC and Foxconn. The investment aligns with Taiwan’s economic growth, driven by AI hardware exports amid global AI spending. Huang’s remarks precede Computex 2026, the island’s major tech event, solidifying Taiwan’s position as a manufacturing and technology hub for AI advancements.
