At Computex 2025, NVIDIA unveiled a series of strategic initiatives aimed at bolstering its quantum computing and AI ecosystem, with a significant focus on Taiwan's technological infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities.

Building Taiwan’s Fastest AI Supercomputer

In collaboration with Foxconn and the Taiwanese government, NVIDIA announced the construction of the Hon Hai Kaohsiung Supercomputing Center, poised to be Taiwan's most powerful AI supercomputer. This facility will utilize NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell architecture, specifically the GB200 NVL72 platform, comprising 64 racks and 4,608 Tensor Core GPUs. The system is expected to deliver over 90 exaflops of AI performance, significantly enhancing Taiwan's computational capabilities.

The supercomputer aims to accelerate advancements in various sectors, including cancer research, large language model development, and smart city innovations. It will also integrate NVIDIA technologies such as Omniverse and Isaac robotics platforms to support digital twin technologies and transform manufacturing processes.

Establishing a New R&D Hub: NVIDIA Constellation

Furthering its commitment to Taiwan, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced plans to establish a new office named "NVIDIA Constellation" in the Beitou Shilin Science Park area of northern Taipei. This move signifies NVIDIA's intent to deepen its roots in Taiwan, leveraging the region's rich talent pool and semiconductor expertise.

Advancing Quantum Computing with CUDA-Q Platform

NVIDIA is also accelerating quantum computing efforts through its open-source CUDA-Q platform, designed to integrate quantum processing units (QPUs) with classical computing systems. Supercomputing centers in Germany, Japan, and Poland have adopted this platform to enhance their quantum computing research. While specific collaborations in Taiwan have not been detailed, NVIDIA's global initiatives indicate a broader strategy to unify quantum and classical computing resources.

Collaborations with Taiwan's Academic and Government Institutions

NVIDIA has a history of collaboration with Taiwan's Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) to advance AI capabilities. This partnership focuses on building supercomputing infrastructure, conducting joint research, and providing training through NVIDIA's Deep Learning Institute. These efforts aim to foster a robust AI ecosystem in Taiwan, supporting both academic research and industry applications.
