Nvidia’s Jensen Huang Unveils $5 Trillion Taiwan Headquarters, Says Annual Investment to Reach $150 Billion

Move aims to deepen ties with Taiwan suppliers including TSMC and Foxconn

"Taiwan will remain the epicenter of the AI revolution and a global technology manufacturing hub for years to come"

Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said the company plans to invest about $150 billion a year in Taiwan. He also unveiled plans for a Taiwan headquarters project valued at about $5 trillion.

Huang made the announcement at an event in Taipei on May 27, where he outlined the $5 trillion headquarters project. Four or five years ago, Nvidia invested $10 billion to $15 billion annually in Taiwan, he said. Now the company plans to invest $100 billion to $150 billion a year. Huang added that Taiwan would remain the epicenter of the artificial intelligence revolution and a global technology manufacturing hub for years to come.

Huang, who was born in Taiwan and emigrated to the US as a child, said construction on the headquarters project will begin this year, with operations targeted to start in 2030.

Reuters reported that Nvidia’s decision to build a large Taiwan headquarters appears aimed at deepening its ties with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. The world’s largest contract chipmaker has become a key supplier to US technology companies, including for advanced AI semiconductors.

The investment expansion in Taiwan also stands to strengthen Nvidia’s partnerships with manufacturing partners on the island, including Foxconn and Wistron.

Speaking before his family, about 1,000 employees and guests including Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, Huang said Taiwan was booming. Nvidia plans to hire 4,000 people at the new site, he said.

"Taiwan is at the center of the AI revolution," Huang said. "This is where chips are made, where packaging is done, where systems are built and where AI supercomputers are created. The number of partners we work with in Taiwan is enormous."

Huang was born in Tainan in southern Taiwan and moved to the US at age 9. His parents, wife, daughter and son attended the event. Known for his strong pride in Taiwan, Huang is treated there like a rock star whose every move draws attention.

Earlier this month, Huang joined President Donald Trump’s delegation to Beijing and attended a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Taiwan plays a central role in the global AI supply chain for companies including Nvidia and Apple, with TSMC and Foxconn at its core.

Advanced Micro Devices, led by fellow Taiwan-born executive Lisa Su, said last week it would invest more than $10 billion in Taiwan’s AI sector to strengthen strategic partnerships and expand advanced AI chip manufacturing and assembly capacity.
