Taipei, Taiwan, November 17, 2025- GMI Cloud has announced a USD 500 million investment to build a major AI data centre in Taiwan, powered by Nvidia’s cutting-edge Blackwell chips.
According to GMI, the Taiwan “AI Factory” is designed to go live by March 2026. The facility will feature around 7,000 Nvidia GB300 / Blackwell Ultra GPUs distributed across 96 high-density racks.
GMI says the centre will consume 16 megawatts of power and will be able to process nearly 2 million tokens per second, aiming to handle large-scale AI workloads, including training, inference, and multi-modal tasks.
Alex Yeh, CEO of GMI Cloud, emphasized the strategic importance of the project for Taiwan’s AI development: “This data center is intended to become the blueprint for the heart of Asia’s AI future … With thousands of next-generation NVIDIA GPUs running in synchrony, our AI infrastructure helps turn the world’s AI visions into reality.”
He also pointed out that while Taiwan has power-supply challenges, the island’s AI demand is strong, and building local compute capacity is critical.
GMI Cloud said that part of its investment, about USD 400 million, will come from several Taiwanese banks, though it has not named the lenders. The company also expects to raise an additional USD 200 million by the end of 2025.
Early anchor customers for the AI Factory include Trend Micro, Wistron, VAST Data, Chunghwa System Integration, and Taiwanese industrial firm TECO, alongside Nvidia itself.
GMI Cloud, based in Mountain View, California, describes itself as a GPU-as-a-Service provider and a Nvidia Cloud Partner, with existing data-centre operations in the US, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, and Japan.
The project comes at a moment when AI infrastructure investment is heating up across Asia. As GMI builds out its compute platform, the Taiwan facility could become a key node in Nvidia’s strategy to scale AI density and deployment across the region.
