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.
SECOND-RATE: Models distilled from US products do not perform the same as the original and undo measures that ensure the systems are neutral, the US’ cable said The US Department of State has ordered a global push to bring attention to what it said are widespread efforts by Chinese companies, including artificial intelligence (AI) start-up DeepSeek (深度求索), to steal intellectual property from US AI labs, according to a diplomatic cable. The cable, dated Friday and sent to diplomatic and consular posts around the world, instructs diplomatic staff to speak to their foreign counterparts about “concerns over adversaries’ extraction and distillation of US AI models.” Distillation is the process of training smaller AI models using output from larger, more expensive ones to lower the costs of training a powerful new
Micron Technology Inc is a driving force pushing the US Congress to pass legislation that would put new export restrictions on equipment its Chinese competitors use to make their chips, according to people familiar with the matter. A US House of Representatives panel yesterday was to vote on the “MATCH Act,” a bill designed to close gaps in restrictions on chipmaking equipment. It would also pressure foreign companies that sell equipment to Chinese chipmaking facilities to align with export curbs on US companies like Lam Research Corp and Applied Materials Inc. The bill targets facilities operated by China’s ChangXin Memory Technologies Inc
Singapore-based ride-hailing and delivery giant Grab Holdings’ planned acquisition of Foodpanda’s Taiwan operations has yet to enter the formal review stage, as regulators await supplementary documents, the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) said yesterday. Acting FTC Chairman Chen Chih-min (陳志民) told the legislature’s Economics Committee that although Grab submitted its application on March 27, the case has not been officially accepted because required materials remain incomplete. Once the filing is finalized, the FTC would launch a formal probe into the deal, focusing on issues such as cross-shareholding and potential restrictions on market competition, Chen told lawmakers. Grab last month announced that it would acquire
The artificial intelligence (AI) boom has triggered a seismic reshuffling of global equity markets, with Taiwan and South Korea muscling past European nations one by one. With its stock market now valued at nearly US$4.3 trillion, Taiwan surpassed the UK, Europe’s biggest market, earlier this month, data compiled by Bloomberg showed. South Korea is about US$140 billion away from doing the same. The tech-heavy Asian markets have shot past Germany and France in the past seven months. The shift is largely down to massive gains in shares of three companies that provide essential hardware for AI: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電),
