According to recent reports from Taiwanese sources, NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang is anticipated to announce the establishment of the company’s global headquarters in Taiwan next week. This announcement is expected during Huang’s visit for the Computex 2025 technology conference, which will be taking place in Taipei. Industry experts indicate that NVIDIA has been evaluating potential locations for its Taiwanese headquarters for several months, highlighting the significant partnership between NVIDIA and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).

Potential Locations for NVIDIA’s Headquarters in Taipei

While it is confirmed that NVIDIA intends to set its global headquarters in Taipei, the specific site remains undisclosed and will likely be shared by Huang during his visit. Insiders report that the Taipei government has proposed five potential locations for consideration, each exceeding three hectares in size. NVIDIA’s preference for Taipei is attributed to its proximity to prestigious universities and well-developed transportation infrastructure.

The five potential sites under consideration include:

Taipei City Flower Park
A marshaling yard for Taiwan Railways
Military land adjacent to Taipei Songshan Airport
Land near Mitsui Park
Renewal project site for Taipower’s electrical utility

Choosing Taiwan as the site for its overseas headquarters aligns with NVIDIA’s strong partnership with TSMC. TSMC’s advanced chip manufacturing capabilities play a crucial role in NVIDIA’s success, particularly in the production of AI GPUs that dominate the global market.

Among the sites being considered, the Taipei City Flower Park emerges as a leading contender due to its scenic environment and excellent transport links. However, there are concerns regarding nearby historical artifacts that could hinder construction should any be discovered during excavation processes.

The Flower Park also appears to face fewer potential conflicts in terms of coordination. In contrast, the marshaling yard and the Taipower site involve multiple stakeholders, complicating land usage. For example, the railway yard is associated with a consortium formed specifically for redevelopment, while the Taipower site will involve bids requiring NVIDIA to negotiate with the successful contractor.

Conversely, the military-owned land near the airport poses additional challenges. The Taipei government, serving as NVIDIA’s primary partner in this project, must first secure the land from the military, a process expected to be finalized by year-end. This timeline may clash with NVIDIA’s desire to commence construction promptly, as indicated by insiders.

Additionally, while the Mitsui Park option was appealing, its lack of direct access to a major transport interchange raises concerns about accessibility for NVIDIA’s workforce.
