NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) chief executive Jensen Huang unveiled the company’s new Constellation campus in Taipei on Wednesday and said the group plans to increase its annual investment in Taiwan to as much as $150 billion.
Speaking during the launch event, Huang said NVIDIA’s yearly spending in Taiwan has risen sharply from roughly $10 billion to $15 billion four or five years ago to around $100 billion today. He added that the company intends to raise that figure to approximately $150 billion per year, although he did not specify the timeline for the expanded investment programme.
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an attended the ceremony and presented Huang with a symbolic key to the city along with a traditional calligraphy scroll. During the event, the mayor said the global technology industry is closely watching NVIDIA’s role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence.
The Constellation campus will be built within the Beitou-Shilin Technology Park in northern Taipei and will cover nearly four hectares. NVIDIA said the site is being designed to house around 4,000 employees and is expected to become one of the largest AI research and development centres in the Asia-Pacific region. The architecture of the facility will mirror elements of NVIDIA’s headquarters in Santa Clara.
Construction on the project is expected to begin later this year, with operations scheduled to start in 2030, according to Huang.
During his presentation, Huang also discussed the growing role of physical AI and its potential to reshape global manufacturing. He said Taiwanese partners are expected to benefit significantly from NVIDIA technologies that could transform industrial production processes.
The CEO additionally confirmed that the NVIDIA Gear Store located on the campus will be accessible to the public.
On Tuesday evening, TSMC chief executive Dr. C.C. Wei joined Huang and members of the NVIDIA leadership team for a dinner meeting in Taipei.
