NVIDIA, which has dominated the global artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor market, has named Taiwan the "Epicenter of the AI Revolution" and is launching a massive investment of $150 billion (approximately 200 trillion won) annually. This move reflects the strong determination of CEO Jensen Huang to fully leverage Taiwan's unparalleled global manufacturing infrastructure amid a surge in data center and AI hardware spending reaching trillions of dollars.

According to a report by IT specialist outlet Capacity on the 27th (local time), NVIDIA is breaking ground this year for its new Taiwan headquarters, with full operations scheduled to begin by 2030. At a recent headquarters establishment commemoration event in Taipei, CEO Huang stated, "Just four to five years ago, annual spending in Taiwan was around $100 billion to $150 billion, but it has now reached 1 trillion won and is expected to expand to $1.5 trillion annually in the future."

The newly constructed NVIDIA Taiwan headquarters will be designed to accommodate approximately 4,000 engineers. Through this, the company aims to further solidify partnerships with Taiwan's local ecosystem, which hosts world-leading semiconductor and IT manufacturers such as TSMC and Foxconn, and to continue close collaboration including co-engineering. CEO Huang explained the background of the large-scale investment expansion by stating, "Taiwan will remain a core manufacturing hub for the global technology and electronics industries for a long time to come."

Currently, NVIDIA is securing its position as the world's most valuable company by setting an unprecedented record with a market capitalization of 5 trillion won, driven by an unprecedented AI boom. In the first quarter alone, it recorded an astonishing growth rate of 85%, and it is projected that global data center spending will exceed 1 trillion won by 2027.

Meanwhile, CEO Jensen Huang's global aggressive moves are also drawing market attention. According to reports, he recently accompanied U.S. President Donald Trump on a visit to Beijing, attending a "Technology Summit" with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss trade and AI cooperation strategies, continuing strategic actions even amid geopolitical dynamics.

As global technological hegemony competition intensifies, global industry attention is focused on what kind of tectonic shifts NVIDIA's astronomical investment in Taiwan will trigger for the worldwide AI ecosystem and semiconductor supply chain.
