Taipei: In Taipei for the launch of his company's headquarters project, Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang has described Taiwan as the "epicenter of the AI revolution" and at the center of nearly everything Nvidia does. Speaking at a company employee gathering Wednesday celebrating the new project, which is expected to be completed in 2030, Huang said Taiwan is where chips, advanced packaging systems, and AI supercomputers are made, making it central to the global AI supply chain.According to Focus Taiwan, Taiwan is "booming," reflected in Nvidia's investment tied to Taiwan's ecosystem, which has grown from around US$10 billion to US$15 billion a year four to five years ago to roughly US$100 billion to US$150 billion a year today. Huang mentioned that the upcoming Nvidia GPU Technology Conference will showcase many of the partners that helped Nvidia realize its ambitions.Huang also stressed the importance of energy infrastructure for the AI era. Addressing Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, who attended the event, th e Nvidia CEO said Taiwan would need significantly more electricity because while human labor needs food, "AI labor needs electricity." "To unify human labor, robotic labor, and AI labor, we need a lot more energy," Huang said, adding that energy development would be fundamental to Taiwan's future economic growth during the new industrial revolution.Chiang may have little pull on the electricity front, as it is largely determined by the central government and the state-controlled utility Taiwan Power Co. At the event, Chiang presented Huang with a Key to the City to welcome Nvidia to Taipei and said the world was watching how Nvidia shapes the future of AI and that Taipei was proud to be part of that future.In response, Huang said Taiwan was at the center of nearly everything Nvidia does and thanked the country for taking care of him, his family, and Nvidia employees. The event was held at the Beitou Shilin Technology Park, where construction of Nvidia's Taiwan headquarters is scheduled to begin at the end of 2026, with completion expected in 2030. Huang also unveiled the headquarters design concept of being "transparent" through extensive use of glass curtain walls.
