The US semiconductor giant, which reported US$130.5 billion in revenue in its most recent financial year, has secured a lease for a property in northern Taipei to open an office that Huang called “Nvidia Constellation”.
Nvidia’s Taiwan engineering staff had expanded “beyond the limits of our current office”, Huang said during his keynote speech for the annual Computex tech hardware show, speaking a day ahead of the event’s official Tuesday start date. He cited the company’s partnerships with Taiwanese tech firms – some of which sent senior representatives to his keynote address – as a major reason for the expansion.
“It’s time for us to reveal one of the largest products we’ve ever built,” said Huang, a 62-year-old Taiwan-born American, gesticulating animatedly on stage against a concert hall-sized backdrop of AI-generated images. “As you know, we have been growing, and all our partnerships with you have been growing.”
Nvidia declined on Monday to give an estimate of the cost of the new office or its staffing capacity, or to disclose the company’s current headcount in Taiwan.
Huang said the Taipei mayor still wanted to determine whether residents support the new Nvidia office, which images indicate will be a new building.
