Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announces plans for a larger Taiwan office and collaboration on a local AI supercomputer.

Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang announced plans for a larger office in Taiwan during his keynote address at Computex 2025 in Taipei.

The company has secured a lease for a new property called “Nvidia Constellation” in northern Taipei. Huang highlighted the need for expansion due to the growth of Nvidia’s engineering staff, which has exceeded the current office space.

Nvidia is also partnering with local firms, including Foxconn, to develop a new supercomputer.

Huang explained the significance of these collaborations, as some representatives from Taiwanese tech companies attended his speech.

Large products

During the address, he mentioned, “It’s time for us to reveal one of the largest products we’ve ever built,” although he did not provide specifics on the project.

Despite the announcements, Nvidia has not disclosed the cost of the new office or its staffing capacity. The company has also not revealed the current number of employees in Taiwan.

Huang noted that the Taipei mayor aims to assess public support for Nvidia’s new office, which is expected to be housed in a new building.

This expansion reflects Nvidia’s commitment to growing its presence and operations in Taiwan amid a booming AI industry. The new office is expected to bolster Nvidia’s partnerships and resources in the region as they continue to lead in AI chip technology.

Schneider Electric highlights AI-driven growth, data centre demands, and sustainability ahead of Computex 2025 launch.

Schneider Electric is ambitious in its pursuit of AI, aiming to revolutionise the delivery of sustainable energy and drive the growth of the sector.

AI is the main topic at Computex 2025. Despite being in its relative infancy, Pankaj Sharma says AI usage reached 100 million users in just two months, compared to seven years for the World Wide Web.

But this has led to an increasing demand for electricity production, especially for data centres, which is linked to net zero targets. The shift is leading to the creation of new businesses across various sectors, including fintech and healthcare.
