The project targets a first-half 2026 launch date. When complete, it will be Taiwan’s largest GPU cluster.
The 27-megawatt data center will run on Nvidia’s new Blackwell GB300 chips. This makes it Asia’s first GB300-powered AI facility.
Foxconn established Visionbay.ai to manage the project. The new business unit focuses on AI supercomputing and cloud operations.
Alexis Bjorlin, an Nvidia vice president, discussed the partnership at Foxconn’s tech day. She emphasized the economic benefits of renting compute resources.
Bjorlin argued that building individual facilities may no longer make sense. The rapid pace of GPU technology advancement favors flexible rental models.
Visionbay.ai will offer GPU leasing through its AI Factory ecosystem. The platform includes Nvidia-native software solutions and a cloud-based AI App Store.
Enterprises get instant access to training, fine-tuning and inference capabilities. The model aims to reduce barriers for companies adopting AI technology.
Neo Yao serves as CEO of Visionbay.ai. The unit will operate the Taiwan facility when it comes online.
Foxconn currently manufactures AI racks for Nvidia. These server racks contain chips, cables and equipment designed for AI workloads.
Chairman Young Liu said Foxconn produces 1,000 AI racks per week. The company expects to increase that capacity in 2026.
Foxconn operates as Nvidia’s primary AI rack manufacturer. This relationship has benefited both companies as data center demand grows.
Spencer Huang attended Foxconn’s tech day event. He manages Nvidia’s robotics product line and is the son of founder Jensen Huang.
Huang said Nvidia is collaborating with Foxconn on factory AI integration. The partnership goes beyond the supercomputing center to manufacturing applications.
Liu told Reuters that Foxconn plans $2 billion to $3 billion in annual AI investments. The company identified AI as a major 2026 growth driver.
Foxconn also revealed a partnership with OpenAI at the event. That deal involves producing components for OpenAI’s U.S. data centers.
The tech day brought together partners including OpenAI and Uber. Foxconn founder Terry Gou attended the event.
The GB300 NVL72 systems support enterprise-grade computing at scale. The facility advances Taiwan’s sovereign AI infrastructure development.
Foxconn has been expanding beyond traditional electronics manufacturing. The company now focuses on electric vehicles and AI infrastructure alongside its iPhone assembly business.
