NVIDIA Plans to Spend Up to $150 Billion Per Year in Taiwan

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said the company plans to invest around $150 billion annually in Taiwan. According to him, Taiwan has become the “epicentre of the AI revolution” and will remain the world’s leading technology manufacturing hub for years to come.

Huang made the announcement in Taipei during the launch ceremony for NVIDIA’s future headquarters in Taiwan. Construction of the new campus is set to begin later this year, with full completion expected by 2030. However, he did not specify when the company’s annual spending in Taiwan could reach the $150 billion mark.

According to the NVIDIA chief, the company was spending around $10-15 billion per year in Taiwan just four or five years ago. Today, that figure has already surpassed $100 billion and continues to grow rapidly.

“Taiwan is the epicentre of the artificial intelligence revolution. This is where chips are made, packaging is done, systems are built, and AI supercomputers are created,” Jensen Huang said.

The new headquarters will bring NVIDIA even closer to TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker. TSMC manufactures most of the advanced AI chips used by the American tech giant.

NVIDIA is also strengthening ties with Taiwanese manufacturing partners including Foxconn, Wistron, and Quanta Computer, which play a key role in producing AI servers and next-generation data center infrastructure.

During his speech, Huang said NVIDIA plans to employ around 4,000 people at the new facility. His parents, wife, children, roughly 1,000 NVIDIA employees, and Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an were all present at the event.

Huang was born in the Taiwanese city of Tainan before moving to the United States at the age of nine. In Taiwan, he has long been treated like a rock star, with local media and tech fans closely following his every move. Earlier this month, the NVIDIA CEO also joined a delegation accompanying Donald Trump during a visit to Beijing for a meeting with Xi Jinping.

Taiwan remains one of the most important hubs in the global AI supply chain for companies such as NVIDIA, Apple, and other major tech firms. The island’s position has grown even stronger thanks to TSMC’s dominance in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

Last week, Advanced Micro Devices also announced plans to invest more than $10 billion in Taiwan’s AI sector to expand partnerships and boost advanced AI chip production. At the end of last year, NVIDIA became the first company in history to surpass a $5 trillion market valuation. Huang believes the company could become even more valuable within the next three to five years as the global AI boom continues.

Last week, NVIDIA also reassured investors that it expects to maintain its rapid growth through a broad customer base and new AI products. The company believes future sales of its flagship AI chips could eventually surpass the $1 trillion mark.
