Foxconn, NVIDIA to Build AI Factory; Becomes Taiwan’s First NVIDIA Cloud Partner to Power Three Strategic Platforms
May 19, 2025 | FoxconnEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) announced that it is partnering with NVIDIA and to build a state-of-the-art AI Factory supercomputing center in Taiwan. This initiative aims to provide the latest NVIDIA Blackwell infrastructure to industry, government, and academia across the region, accelerating Taiwan’s research and application of artificial intelligence. At the same time, Foxconn’s subsidiary, Big Innovation Company, will become the first NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) in Taiwan, further strengthening the collaboration between the two companies.
As part of this initiative, Foxconn is establishing Big Innovation Company, a subsidiary building the AI Factory in Taiwan and further deepening collaboration with NVIDIA.
Foxconn’s AI factory will be one of Taiwan’s most powerful supercomputers, based on the NVIDIA Blackwell platform providing high performance computing to industry, government and academia.
TSMC researchers plan to leverage the system to advance their research and development with orders-of-magnitude faster performance, compared with previous-generation systems.
“Share, collaborate and thrive. Foxconn is partnering with global leaders to shape a smarter way of life. This NVIDIA AI factory is laying the foundation for government, industry and academia to propel Taiwan toward its next era of innovation,” said Foxconn Chairman Young Liu.
“NVIDIA AI factories are the infrastructure for the age of AI and robotics,” said Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Together, Foxconn and NVIDIA are building a state-of-the-art AI infrastructure for Taiwan's world-leading technology and electronics ecosystem.”
“At TSMC, innovation lies at the heart of everything we do. By harnessing advanced AI infrastructure, we empower our researchers to accelerate breakthroughs in semiconductor technology, enabling next-generation solutions for our customers and the world,” said Dr. C.C. Wei, Chairman and CEO of TSMC. “Leveraging this AI factory reinforces our commitment to pushing the limits of AI-driven innovation.”
The supercomputer will be equipped with NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra systems, including GB300 NVL72 rack system solutions, equipped with NVIDIA NVLink, NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand and NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, and will become an important engine for the development of Foxconn's three major strategic platforms: Smart Manufacturing, Smart EV, Smart City.
Foxconn joins a global network of NCPs, which offer hosted computing and services using high-performance infrastructure built with NVIDIA GPUs, networking, and AI software.
Foxconn will also contribute computing from the new AI Factory to NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton, an AI platform and marketplace recently announced, which will further expand developers and enterprises' access to the global NVIDIA GPU ecosystem.
