Nvidia will increase its annual investment in Taiwan to $150 billion, up from $100 billion, as the U.S. chip giant expands its role in the global artificial intelligence supply chain, Chief Executive Jensen Huang said on Wednesday.
Speaking in Taipei ahead of next week’s Computex, Huang described Taiwan as the “epicentre of the AI revolution” and said the company’s growing spending would strengthen the island’s technology ecosystem.“Taiwan is booming,” Huang said.
He added that Nvidia’s investment would “fuel an incredible ecosystem here.” Taiwan plays a central role in the production of semiconductors used to train and power AI systems.
The island is home to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which manufactures Nvidia’s advanced chip designs, and Foxconn, which assembles processors for data centre servers.
Huang said Nvidia’s annual spending in Taiwan had risen sharply over recent years.“Four years ago, five years ago, Nvidia was spending about $10, $15 billion a year in Taiwan,” he said. “Now, we’re spending $100 going to $150 billion in Taiwan each year.”
He said Nvidia’s new Taipei office would house about 4,000 engineers as the company deepens partnerships with local manufacturers and suppliers.“This is going to be the manufacturing, the technology, electronics manufacturing hub for the world for a long time to come,” Huang said.
Taiwan’s economy expanded strongly in 2025, driven by surging exports of AI-related hardware as governments and companies worldwide accelerated spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Huang’s remarks came days after Nvidia reported record quarterly revenue of $81.6 billion, beating Wall Street expectations on strong demand for its AI chips.
First-quarter revenue rose 85% from a year earlier and 20% from the previous quarter, while net profit climbed to $58.3 billion from $18.8 billion a year earlier, underscoring Nvidia’s dominance in the global AI boom.
