CEO Jensen Huang stated during his keynote address at Computex 2025 on Monday that NVIDIA is constructing Taiwan’s “first national AI supercomputer” and establishing a new location there. For the supercomputer facility, which will hold 10,000 of its newest Blackwell GPUs, the world’s top provider of AI chips will be working with Foxconn, TSMC, and the Taiwanese government. The AI infrastructure will be supplied by Foxconn, and TSMC will use it for cutting-edge research and development.
“Taiwan doesn’t just build supercomputers for the world,” Huang said in his speech, delivered the day before Taiwan’s Computex tech expo. “ We’re also building AI for Taiwan. Having a world-class AI infrastructure in Taiwan is really important.”
“By building this AI factory with NVIDIA and TSMC,” Foxconn CEO and chairman Young Liu said in a statement, “we are laying the groundwork to connect people in Taiwan as well as government organizations and enterprises such as TSMC to accelerate innovation and empower industries.”
According to Huang, the technical team at his business has expanded “beyond the limits of (its) current office” in Taiwan. As a result, NVIDIA plans to purchase the “NVIDIA Constellation,” a bigger office in northern Taipei.
Following President Donald Trump’s imposition of broad tariffs on nations with whom the United States has a trade imbalance, these statements coincide with a period of upheaval in the AI sector. Although promoting home manufacturing was his declared goal, such regulations might temporarily disrupt tech supply networks. Furthermore, NVIDIA estimates that the United States is preventing the sale of some cutting-edge processors to China without a license, which may cost it up to $5.5 billion.
NVIDIA has responded by increasing its operations in Taiwan and bolstering its position in the US in an effort to diversify its approach. The business said that it will be constructing supercomputers in the United States, a day after Trump threatened to impose semiconductor tariffs in the “very near future.”
The U.S.-based chipmaker announced last week that it will sell 18,000 of its high-performance Grace Blackwell AI processors to Saudi Arabia as part of a new partnership that brings together Saudi cash and American technology. NVIDIA also stated in April that it will not halt its plans to construct additional AI data centers, despite worries that the tariffs will lower demand for AI due to growing tech costs.
