NVIDIA and Foxconn to Build Taiwan's AI Factory Supercomputer
NVIDIA and Foxconn Hon Hai Technology Group have announced an expanded collaboration to create an AI-powered supercomputer in Taiwan. This AI factory will feature 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and will be a major step forward in advancing Taiwan’s AI infrastructure, significantly increasing computing resources for AI research, startups, and enterprises across the region.
The AI supercomputer will be provided by Foxconn's subsidiary, Big Innovation Company, as part of NVIDIA’s Cloud Partner program.
Fueling AI Development in Taiwan
The supercomputer will be utilized by the Taiwan National Science and Technology Council, which will offer AI cloud computing resources to the country’s technology ecosystem. This initiative is designed to accelerate AI development across various sectors, positioning Taiwan at the forefront of the AI revolution.
The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) will be one of the key beneficiaries of this AI infrastructure. TSMC’s researchers plan to leverage the AI supercomputer to achieve orders-of-magnitude faster performance in their research and development efforts, further advancing semiconductor technologies with the help of cutting-edge AI.
Jensen Huang, CEO and Founder of NVIDIA, said, "AI has ignited a new industrial revolution — science and industry will be transformed,”
He added, “We are delighted to partner with Foxconn and Taiwan to help build Taiwan's AI infrastructure, and to support TSMC and other leading companies to advance innovation in the age of AI and robotics.”
Key Features of the AI Supercomputer
The Big Innovation Cloud AI Factory will use NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra systems, including GB300 NVL72 and high-speed networking, to power AI workloads across training and deployment.
Startups, researchers, and enterprises in Taiwan will gain access to advanced GPU resources, while Foxconn will use the infrastructure to drive automation in smart cities, EVs, and manufacturing.
