Nvidia Constellation Headquarters

US chip designer Nvidia held a ceremony for "Nvidia Constellation" — the company’s new overseas headquarters in Taipei.

CEO Jensen Huang appealed directly to Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an for more energy, as concerns grow over whether Taiwan’s power grid can keep pace with rapid AI industry expansion.

While Nvidia’s global headquarters remains in Santa Clara, California, this new campus serves as its major overseas hub.

Currently, Nvidia employs over 2,000 people in Taiwan, and this project could potentially create around 10,000 new jobs.

Energy Needs and AI Labor

Speaking on stage, Huang emphasized the need for increased energy in Taiwan, stating, "Mayor, we could use more energy in Taiwan.

Because human labor needs rice.

But AI labor needs electricity." He noted that for Taiwan to unite human labor with robotics and AI labor, a significant increase in electricity supply is necessary.

Huang’s comments come amid concerns regarding the capacity of Taiwan’s power grid to support the rapid expansion of the AI industry.

State-owned utility Taipower plans to build a new substation near Taipei’s Beitou-Shilin Science Park, which is expected to supply up to 180 megawatts of electricity once completed.

AI and Employment

Huang addressed worries about AI replacing human workers, asserting, "AI is not the reason we are going to have layoffs.

AI is the way we avoid it so that we could be more successful." He reassured the audience that job losses would not be due to AI but rather to those who utilize AI effectively.

Construction on the Nvidia Constellation campus is expected to begin this year, with operations planned for 2030.

Nvidia relies heavily on Taiwanese partners, especially chip manufacturers, to produce its most advanced AI chips, which are essential for various applications, including chatbots and data centers.

Huang has repeatedly stated that Taiwan is critical to Nvidia’s success as the company strives to meet the increasing global demand for AI computing.

Japan's deep-tech startup Flosfia offers next-gen power chips that allow EVs to travel farther

Kyoto University startup Flosfia is developing gallium oxide power semiconductors as an alternative to silicon for devices including electric vehicles. The company says gallium oxide delivers far lower power loss than silicon and silicon carbide, while its mist CVD process can bring production costs close to silicon. Flosfia says its devices have met industry reliability criteria and is preparing for mass production with a target of 1 million units per month.
