[DigitalToday reporter Hyunwoo Choo] Nvidia has formalised the launch of a new headquarters project at Taipei’s Beitou-Shilin Technology Park in Taiwan. Jensen Huang (젠슨 황), Nvidia’s CEO, said at an employee event on May 28 that “Taiwan is the epicentre of the AI revolution,” Taiwan’s Central News Agency (CNA) reported.

Huang praised Taiwan’s semiconductor supply chain ecosystem and stressed that “everything happens here, from chip manufacturing and advanced packaging to system assembly and AI supercomputer production.” He added that the number of partners they work with is “astonishing,” and that he has “never seen a single unhappy CEO.” Taiwan’s stock market capitalisation stood at $4.95 trillion as of May 25, rising to the world’s fifth-largest market by that measure, overtaking India. It ranks after the United States, China, Japan and Hong Kong.

Nvidia’s new Taipei headquarters is designed to accommodate 4,000 employees. Construction is due to begin in late 2026 and the building is expected to be completed in 2030. Nvidia’s workforce in Taiwan rose from 1,100 in 2024 to 1,800 in 2025 and has exceeded 2,000 this year. Huang said the company will hire several thousand more after the new headquarters is completed. The hiring is expected to focus mainly on local Taiwanese staff.

Nvidia’s annual investment in Taiwan has surged nearly tenfold, from $10 billion to $15 billion five years ago to $100 billion to $150 billion now. Huang said, “Nvidia alone has brought tremendous momentum to Taiwan’s supply chain ecosystem.” Analysis says Taiwan’s broader tech sector is benefiting as investment in semiconductor design and manufacturing concentrates amid a sharp rise in AI demand.

Power remains a key task. Huang urged Taiwan to secure sufficient and stable electricity for future growth, saying “AI development depends heavily on energy.” As data centre infrastructure expands faster, power demand is expected to surge alongside it. In response, Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) said the government would guarantee stable power supplies through 2032.

Nvidia’s Taipei headquarters project is seen as symbolically showing the centre of gravity in Taiwan’s technology ecosystem, which is rising quickly on the back of the AI boom. Taiwan’s standing is also solidifying further as a key hub in the global AI supply chain.
