Foxconn’s $1.4 Billion AI Supercomputing Center Set for 2026 Completion

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Foxconn announced on November 21 that its $1.4 billion supercomputing center, built in partnership with Nvidia, will be operational in the first half of 2026. Upon completion, the center will be Taiwan’s largest advanced GPU cluster.

The 27-megawatt facility will utilize Nvidia’s new Blackwell GB300 chips and will also be Asia’s first GB300-powered AI data center, according to Neo Yao, CEO of Visonbay.ai, a new unit created by Foxconn for AI supercomputing and cloud operations.

“As GPU technology accelerates, building individual facilities may no longer make economic sense,” said Alexis Bjorlin, Nvidia vice president, during Foxconn’s tech day event, attended by partners including Nvidia, OpenAI, and Uber. “Renting compute resources may offer a far better return on investment, enabling companies to scale their compute according to product and business cycles,” she added.

Foxconn, which is best known as Apple’s leading iPhone assembler, has been diversifying into electric vehicles and AI data centers. It is now Nvidia’s main manufacturer of AI racks — specialized server racks for AI workloads. This evolution positions Foxconn as a significant beneficiary of the booming AI data center market fueled by extensive cloud computing investments.

Foxconn projects strong demand for AI-related services in 2026 and plans to invest between $2 billion and $3 billion annually in AI, as stated by Chairman Young Liu in a Reuters interview.

At the tech day, Terry Gou, Foxconn’s founder, and Spencer Huang, a product line manager at Nvidia and son of the company’s founder, also participated. Spencer Huang mentioned that Nvidia is collaborating with Foxconn to integrate AI into manufacturing and factory settings.

Foxconn can currently manufacture 1,000 AI racks each week and expects production capacity to increase next year. Liu noted that Foxconn’s electric vehicle business is reaching levels suitable for automakers to outsource more production.

The company showcased its “Model A” electric vehicle, designed by Japanese engineers. Liu mentioned plans to establish a company in Japan to serve local customers, with the Model A eventually being manufactured there.
