Nvidia plants its flag in Taiwan —
$150 billion a year, one campus, the world’s AI supply chain
From chips and packaging to full AI supercomputers, Taiwan is now Nvidia’s largest operational hub. CEO Jensen Huang made it official on May 27, 2026, at the launch of Nvidia Constellation in Taipei.
On May 27, 2026, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stood at the T17 and T18 lots in Taipei’s Beitou-Shilin Technology Park and formally launched Nvidia Constellation — the company’s first overseas headquarters. Construction breaks ground this year. The campus is expected to be operational by 2030. Around 1,000 employees attended, along with Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an and Huang’s family. The mayor presented Huang with a key to the city and a handmade calligraphy scroll.
Huang, who was born in Tainan in 1963 and emigrated to the United States at age nine, has described Taiwan as the centre of Nvidia’s supply chain. The company’s annual Taiwan spend was around $10–15 billion four to five years ago. Huang said on May 27 it is heading toward $150 billion per year. As Nvidia has worked through tightening US-China chip trade rules, Taiwan’s manufacturing ecosystem has become more central to its operations. Nvidia became the first company to reach a $5 trillion market valuation in late 2025.
A closer look at the Taipei headquarters
Location
T17 and T18 lots at Beitou-Shilin Technology Park, northern Taipei. The two parcels were combined by removing a 15-metre dividing road. Nvidia Iconic Taiwan Co. holds the 50-year lease, extendable by 20 years.
Design & Scale
The design echoes Nvidia’s Santa Clara headquarters. The campus spans nearly 4 hectares and is planned to house roughly 4,000 employees — making it one of the largest AI R&D hubs in the APAC region once open.
Partner Ecosystem
TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, is Nvidia’s primary semiconductor manufacturer and a near neighbour. Key AI server partners — amid surging global AI infrastructure demand — include Foxconn, Wistron, and Quanta Computer.
Power Supply
Power remains an open question. Taiwan Power Co. is planning a new substation at the park. Taipei’s city government is in active talks with the utility over the energy policy needed to support AI workloads at this scale.

“Taiwan is the epicentre of the AI revolution. This is where the chips come, packaging comes, this is where the systems are made, this is where AI supercomputers were created.”
Jensen Huang — Constellation launch, Taipei, May 27, 2026“Vera Rubin is the largest product launch, probably in the history of Taiwan. Each one of the Vera Rubin systems consists of almost 2 million parts, and it includes 150 different ecosystem partners here in Taiwan to build it.”
Jensen Huang — media remarks, Taipei Songshan Airport, May 23, 2026“The world is watching NVIDIA shape the future of AI.”
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an — Constellation launch celebration, May 27, 2026“It’s become a really, very powerful assistant. The era of useful AI has arrived. That’s what this event is about, to show you what open source agents can do and then you can go create your own.”
Jensen Huang — Meet-a-Claw developer event, Taipei, May 23, 2026AMD separately announced plans to invest more than $10 billion in Taiwan’s AI sector in the week before the Constellation launch, deepening its own partnerships with local manufacturers. Both announcements reflect the pace of global tech infrastructure investment — and Taiwan’s central role in it. Nvidia’s Vera Rubin NVL72 products are expected to ship in the second half of 2026 from providers including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft, and CoreWeave.
Last week, Nvidia told investors it had forecast over $1 trillion in sales for its flagship AI chips. Huang said on May 27 the company would be worth even more in three to five years. Consumer device makers — from audio hardware to smartphones — continue integrating AI advances at the chip and software level. The broader consumer technology industry continues absorbing AI hardware advances across devices and services. Nvidia’s Constellation campus, the Vera Rubin NVL72, Jetson Thor, and Alpamayo were covered here as part of the company’s May 2026 Taipei announcements. GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX runs June 1–4, 2026.
