Foxconn announced on Friday that its $1.4 billion supercomputing centre, developed in partnership with Nvidia, will be ready in the first half of 2026. Once completed, it will become Taiwan’s largest advanced GPU cluster.
The 27-megawatt facility will run on Nvidia’s new Blackwell GB300 chips. According to Neo Yao, CEO of Foxconn’s newly created AI and cloud unit Visonbay.ai, it will also be Asia’s first GB300-powered AI data centre.
Nvidia vice president Alexis Bjorlin, speaking at Foxconn’s tech day, said the rapid evolution of GPU technology is changing how companies invest in computing power. Building individual data centres may no longer be cost-effective. Instead, renting compute resources could deliver better returns and give businesses flexibility to scale with product and market cycles.
Foxconn, best known as Apple’s top iPhone assembler, has been diversifying into electric vehicles and large-scale AI infrastructure. The company is now Nvidia’s main manufacturer of AI racks—specialised server systems built for intense AI workloads.
This strategy has positioned Foxconn as a major beneficiary of the global data-centre boom, as cloud providers invest billions expanding their AI capacity. Last week, Foxconn said AI demand would be a major growth driver in 2026.
In an interview published earlier on Friday, Foxconn Chairman Young Liu told Reuters the company plans to invest $2–3 billion annually in AI. Founder Terry Gou also attended the tech day, along with Spencer Huang from Nvidia—who is the son of CEO Jensen Huang. Huang noted that Nvidia and Foxconn are working together to integrate AI into factories and production lines.
Liu added that Foxconn can now produce 1,000 AI racks per week, and expects that output to increase further next year.
On the electric vehicle side, he said Foxconn’s current output has reached levels at which automakers may begin outsourcing more production to the company. Chief Strategy Officer Jun Seki presented Foxconn’s “Model A” EV on stage. Liu said the vehicle was designed by Japanese engineers and that Foxconn intends to establish a local company in Japan to support clients there. The Model A will eventually be built in Japan as well.
