Visiting Nvidia Corp CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) today confirmed he would return to Taiwan in June to attend the annual Computex Taipei expo, where the company plans to make multiple announcements and he would deliver a keynote address.
The purpose of his visit to Taiwan is to celebrate the Lunar New Year and thank Nvidia's partners for their support, Huang told reporters in Taipei.
Huang arrived in Taiwan last week and hosted a dinner for key Taiwanese suppliers in Taipei on Saturday.

"All of Taiwan's supply chain had a record year [2025]," Huang said, citing Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密), also known as Foxconn Technology Group (富士康科技集團), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (台積電) and Wistron Corp (緯創) as examples.
"And they are all going to have an incredible year this year," he added.
Asked about the Taipei City Government's reported plan to hold the signing for Nvidia's new Taiwan headquarters at the T17 and T18 sites between Tuesday and Sunday next week, Huang said that he would try to attend any related ceremonies or large events.
"This is going to be a super busy year for me," he said, adding that he would definitely attend this year's Computex Taipei, scheduled for June 2 to 5.
"We have a lot of announcements this year," Huang added.
On competition in the artificial intelligence (AI) market, Huang acknowledged that Nvidia faces many rivals.
While many companies have been founded to develop AI chips, numerous others have already gone out of business and some have been acquired, making the market increasingly challenging, he said.
"I think the competition will always be there, because it is such a large market," Huang said, adding that Nvidia is the only company that works with every AI company.
The company is present in every cloud and enterprise data center, as well as in robots and cars, he said.
"Nvidia is everywhere, so we are going to have to keep running as fast as we can," he said.
Huang was scheduled to leave Taiwan later today.
Singapore-based ride-hailing and delivery giant Grab Holdings Ltd has applied for regulatory approval to acquire the Taiwan operations of Germany-based Delivery Hero SE's Foodpanda in a deal valued at about US$600 million. Grab submitted the filing to the Fair Trade Commission on Friday last week, with the transaction subject to regulatory review and approval, the company said in a statement yesterday. Its independent governance structure would help foster a healthy and competitive market in Taiwan if the deal is approved, Grab said. Grab, which is listed on the NASDAQ, said in the filing that US-based Uber Technologies Inc holds about 13 percent of
The domestic unit of the Chinese-owned, Dutch-headquartered chipmaker Nexperia BV will soon be able to produce semiconductors locally within China, according to two company sources. Nexperia is at the center of a global tug-of-war over critical semiconductor technology, with a Dutch court in February ordering a probe into alleged mismanagement at the company. The geopolitical tussle has disrupted supply chains, with some carmakers reportedly forced to cut production due to chip shortages. Local production would allow Nexperia’s domestic arm, Nexperia Semiconductors (China) Ltd (安世半導體中國), to bypass restrictions in place since October on the supply of silicon wafers — etched with tiny components to
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) yesterday received government approval to deploy its advanced 3-nanometer (3nm) process at its second fab currently under construction in Japan, the Ministry of Economic Affairs said in a news release. The ministry green-lit the plan for the facility in Kumamoto, which is scheduled to start installing equipment and come online in 2028 with a monthly production capacity of 15,000 12-inch wafers, the ministry said. The Department of Investment Review in June 2024 authorized a US$5.26 billion investment for the facility, slated to manufacture 6- to 12nm chips, significantly less advanced than 3nm process. At a meeting with
Taiwan’s food delivery market could undergo a major shift if Singapore-based Grab Holdings Ltd completes its planned acquisition of Delivery Hero SE’s Foodpanda business in Taiwan, industry experts said. Grab on Monday last week announced it would acquire Foodpanda’s Taiwan operations for US$600 million. The deal is expected to be finalized in the second half of this year, with Grab aiming to complete user migration to its platform by the first half of next year. A duopoly between Uber Eats and Foodpanda dominates Taiwan’s delivery market, a structure that has remained intact since the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) blocked Uber Technologies Inc’s
