Jensen Huang, chief executive and founder of Nvidia, has pledged tens of billions more in investment for Taiwan, as the semiconductor giant expands its corporate footprint in the region.
At a launch event for Nvidia’s new Taiwan headquarters in Taipei, Huang said: “Four years ago, five years ago, Nvidia was spending about 10, 15 billion dollars a year in Taiwan. Now we’re spending 100, going to 150 billion dollars in Taiwan each year.”
Later this year, Nvidia will break ground on Constellation, its new four-hectare Taipei headquarters. More than 4,000 Nvidia employees will work at the office complex when it is complete, with Nvidia targeting an opening date of 2030.
To invest $150 billion in Taiwan annually, Nvidia would have to dedicate more than an entire quarter’s revenue to the region. In the financial quarter ending April 2026, Nvidia reported $81.6 billion in revenue, up 85 per cent year-on-year. The firm projects $91 billion in revenue for the current financial quarter, plus or minus 2 per cent.
“Taiwan is the epicentre of the AI revolution,” Huang added. “This is where the chips come, packaging comes, this is where the systems are made, this is where AI supercomputers were created. The number of partners we work with here in Taiwan, incredible.”
Taiwan is a major hub for semiconductor manufacturing, with approximately 90 per cent of the world’s advanced chips – including graphics processing units (GPUs) and central processing units (CPUs) – produced in the region.
The majority of Nvidia’s chips, as well as those of competitors such as AMD, are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).AMD is also investing heavily in Taiwan as firms look to secure advanced semiconductor manufacturing capacity to support demand from data centre operators.
Last week Lisa Su, chief executive of AMD, visited Taipei and committed to expanding manufacturing capacity in the region to meet rising demand, Reuters reported.
