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.
After several years flying high as Asia’s best Nvidia Corp proxy, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) is increasingly vying with other artificial intelligence (AI) stocks for investor attention. Stock traders are chasing a wider array of beneficiaries as mainstream usage of AI creates demand for hardware beyond the most-advanced chips TSMC makes for Nvidia. Subthemes from the deepening memory crunch to advances in robotics are also luring bids. At the same time, investment caps on single stocks are pushing funds to diversify, while retail investors long familiar with TSMC through its US depositary receipts are being offered a broader set of
UNDER MICROSCOPE: Taiwan detained three people who allegedly conspired to buy servers in Taiwan and export them using fraudulent documentation, prosecutors said Nvidia Corp chief executive officer Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) on Saturday urged Super Micro Computer Inc to tighten up on compliance after Taiwan detained three people this week for allegedly making fraudulent declarations about artificial intelligence (AI) servers made by its US partner. The development marked the nation’s first crackdown on semiconductor smuggling, which grew after the US slapped restrictions on exports of high-end chips such as Nvidia AI accelerators to China. Nvidia is “rigorous” in explaining regulations to all of its partners, Huang told reporters after arriving in Taipei. “Ultimately Super Micro has to run their own company,” he said in response to
TECH RELIANCE: Growth is increasingly reflecting an unequal K-shaped distribution, where technology sectors outperform and other industries struggle, an expert said Standard Chartered Bank has significantly raised its forecast for Taiwan’s economic growth to 9.5 percent this year, up from 7.6 percent previously, citing surging artificial intelligence (AI) demand driving exports, semiconductor production and investment. The upgrade reflects a sustained AI supercycle that continues to fuel demand for advanced chips and technology infrastructure, which form the backbone of Taiwan’s exports, the bank said in a report this week. “We raise our 2026 growth forecast to reflect a much stronger-than-expected first-quarter GDP figure,” Standard Chartered senior economist for greater China and Asia Tommy Wu (胡東安) said in the report. Driven largely by a 35.3 percent
Two of Taiwan’s international carriers, Starlux Airlines Co (星宇航空) and EVA Airways Corp (長榮航空), have retained the five-star airline rating awarded by international airline review organization Skytrax. Starlux was awarded the distinction for a second consecutive year, while EVA Air received it for the 11th straight year, Skytrax said in statements released yesterday and on Thursday last week, respectively. The five-star rating is considered one of the airline industry's highest honors and is awarded following professional audits of airline product and frontline service standards, Skytrax said. The ratings are based on in-depth assessments using unified global quality standards rather than customer review scores
