Taipei has emerged as a gathering place for key players in the global artificial intelligence (AI) industry. Events such as 'GTC Taipei 2026' and 'Computex 2026' are drawing major figures from global AI companies, including NVIDIA, AMD, TSMC, Foxconn, Qualcomm, and Arm, to the city.
On June 1, Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, delivered a keynote speech at GTC 2026. This event serves as a precursor to Computex, which opens on June 2 and reveals NVIDIA's technology strategy.
Once primarily a PC and component exhibition, Computex has evolved into one of Asia's largest showcases for AI industry trends, coinciding with GTC Taipei, where NVIDIA's next-generation business vision will be unveiled.
The significance of this event stems from the strong cohesion within Taiwan's semiconductor ecosystem. TSMC is a key production partner for NVIDIA's AI accelerators, while Foxconn is increasingly important in AI server manufacturing. Companies like MediaTek and Delta Electronics are also expanding their connections with NVIDIA's ecosystem in areas such as AI PCs, servers, power management, and custom semiconductors.
Jensen Huang, who has Taiwanese roots, along with Lisa Su, CEO of AMD and a distant relative, are among the notable attendees expected during Computex. Other industry leaders, including Cristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm, Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel, Matt Murphy, CEO of Marvell, and Rene Haas, CEO of Arm, are also set to visit Taipei, marking a significant convergence of AI semiconductor, server, communication, and design asset companies.
Locally, executives from TSMC and Foxconn are anticipated to meet with CEO Jensen Huang. While NVIDIA holds a strong position in AI chip design and software ecosystems, Taiwan possesses a critical foundation for production, packaging, and server manufacturing, aligning the interests of both parties.
Korean companies are also making their presence felt at the event. Choi Tae-won, chairman of SK Group, is scheduled to hold a press conference on June 2, while Song Jae-hyuk, Chief Technology Officer and President of Samsung Electronics, Park Min-woo, President of Hyundai Motor Group, and Kim Yoo-won, CEO of Naver Cloud, are expected to showcase their companies' technological competitiveness.
