Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang reaffirmed his commitment to Taiwan as a global technology hub on Monday, announcing the construction of a new local base in Taipei and an artificial intelligence supercomputer that would use thousands of the company’s chips.

The move comes as President Donald Trump’s administration pressures technology companies to increase manufacturing on US soil, and as Huang seeks to navigate new tariffs and export controls that threaten Nvidia’s massive sales of AI chips, which are heavily dependent on Taiwan’s supply chain.

Speaking at Taipei’s Computex tech show, Huang also announced a range of new products aimed at embedding the company’s technology at the heart of an AI infrastructure industry he predicts will be worth multiple trillions of dollars over the coming years.
