Every year, the tech world descends on Taipei for Computex, and every year the event tells you something about where the industry’s center of gravity has shifted. This year, the answer is unambiguous: it’s Nvidia’s world, and everyone else is just building inference servers in it.
Computex 2026 runs June 2-5 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center and TICC. But the real curtain-raiser is Nvidia’s GTC Taipei event, which spans June 1-4 and effectively absorbs the conference’s opening act. Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s leather-jacketed CEO, delivers his keynote on June 1 at 11 a.m. Taipei time, with a focus on the latest advances in AI and accelerated computing.
Physical AI, AI factories, and the robotics push
The session lineup tells you exactly where Nvidia is placing its bets. Prominent talks include “Physical AI at Scale,” scheduled for June 2, and “Extreme Co-Design,” slated for June 4.
“Physical AI” refers to AI systems that interact with the real world, think autonomous robots, self-driving vehicles, and industrial automation. Nvidia has been building toward this for years with its Omniverse simulation platform and its Isaac robotics toolkit.
