Jensen Huang, the CEO who turned a graphics card company into the backbone of the AI revolution, touched down in Taiwan on May 23. His destination: the GTC Taipei event kicking off June 1, where he’s set to deliver a keynote that the entire semiconductor and AI world will be watching.

The event runs from June 1 to June 4 across the Taipei Music Center and Taipei International Convention Center. Huang takes the stage at 11 a.m. Taipei time on the first day, with a free global livestream ensuring nobody has to book a flight to hear what he has to say.

Why GTC Taipei matters beyond the chip world

The focus areas are robotics, physical AI, and accelerated computing infrastructure.

The timing is deliberate. GTC Taipei coincides with COMPUTEX 2026, the massive annual tech expo that draws the entire Asian semiconductor supply chain to one city. Having both events in the same window creates a gravitational pull for hardware executives, chip designers, and the manufacturing partners who actually build the silicon Nvidia designs.
