Foxconn and Nvidia plan to construct a high-performance AI data centre in Taiwan, which will cater to smart cities, electric vehicles (EVs), and next-generation computing.
The project was unveiled at the Computex 2025 technology exhibition in Taipei. The facility will be constructed in phases and is expected to achieve a power capacity of 100 megawatts (MW).
The AI hub forms part of a broader drive spearheaded by Nvidia, which includes major players such as Foxconn, chip producer TSMC, and the Taiwanese government.
“This data centre will support advanced AI training and smart technologies,” said Foxconn Chairman Young Liu. “Power is a very important resource here. We’ll start with 20 megawatts and increase gradually.”
The first phase will be set up in Kaohsiung, a city in southern Taiwan. Over time, the project will expand to full capacity based on power availability.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called it an “AI factory” during his keynote, saying the facility will not only serve Foxconn and Nvidia but also benefit Taiwan’s entire tech ecosystem. “We’re building this for all of us,” Huang said, highlighting Nvidia’s 350+ local partners.
