NVIDIA chief executive Jensen Huang told a Taipei audience at Computex 2026 on Wednesday that Taiwan is the “epicentre” of the AI revolution, and that the company’s annual spending on the island will reach roughly $150bn a year.
The number, the highest specific Taiwan-spend figure Huang has yet disclosed publicly, makes Nvidia’s commitment to the island arithmetically larger than the GDP of most EU member states.
The figure breaks down through the supply chain Huang spent the bulk of his keynote describing. The flagship example is Vera Rubin, Nvidia’s next-generation AI platform, which Huang called “probably the largest product launch in the history of Taiwan.”
Each Vera Rubin system contains nearly 2 million parts and is built through 150 ecosystem partners on the island, almost all in Taiwanese hands. TSMC fabricates the underlying logic. Foxconn, Quanta, Wistron and others handle assembly.
SK Hynix, listed in Seoul but with a substantial Taiwan presence, supplies the HBM4 memory the platform needs to deliver its 22 TB/s system bandwidth.
