Taiwan’s AI Supply Chain Makes a Strong Debut at GTC, Asia New Bay Area Emerges as a Global Innovation Hotspot

Published

on

By

NVIDIA, Cisco, Foxconn, Pegatron, AUO, and other AI giants lead the way in settling in Asia New Bay Area (ANBA).

KAOHSIUNG, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The NVIDIA GTC (GPU Technology Conference), a premier global AI event, recently convened global tech leaders to unpack artificial intelligence’s transformative impact. Amid this spotlight, Taiwan stands tall, producing 90% of the world’s AI servers and powering the next wave of technological advancement.

At the heart of this surge is Kaohsiung’s Asia New Bay Area (ANBA), a 1,360-acres innovation hub where Taiwan’s major tech players such as Cisco, Genesis, Foxconn, AUO, Pegatron and are driving the future of AI and smart technology. ANBA, fueled by over US$3.2 billion in public and private investment, is a cornerstone of Taiwan’s industrial innovation strategy.

Its strategic perch at the nexus of global trade, with unmatched sea, air, and port access, makes it a magnet for high-tech industries. Specific measures include a dedicated 5G network, fintech sandbox, digital transformation subsidies, and technology R&D incentives. A robust computing foundation powered by advanced AI supercomputing that is growing yearly through sustained investment. Pairing this with a vibrant ecosystem and deep talent pool, ANBA is transforming Kaohsiung into a waterfront tech hub for smart technology. This dynamic hub has already drawn 175 tech companies, spanning emerging fields like AI, semiconductors, and green energy, as well as applications in healthcare and petrochemical and steel industry transformation, ANBA has partnered with leading global cloud providers such as AWS, Microsoft, and Google, positioning Kaohsiung as a global pacesetter in smart tech applications and innovation.

Several world-class manufacturers in the ANBA are actively advancing AIoT, smart manufacturing, and digital twin technologies. These efforts not only drive the localization of global supply chain technologies but also foster cross-border collaborations.

Cisco and Genesis have partnered to establish the “AIoT Sustainable Innovation R&D Center”, and promote the “AIoT Sustainable Industry Chain Development Base” and the “Cybersecurity and Network Talent Training” initiative. The project aims to train over a thousand technical specialists to obtain Cisco professional certifications, creating a data and digital twin platform for cybersecurity protection and anomaly detection. This initiative seeks to transform Kaohsiung Port into a global model for smart logistics and supply chain automation.

Foxconn, through the establishment of the “Foxconn Kaohsiung Software R&D Center”, is focusing on three key areas: smart cities, smart manufacturing, and smart EVs. The company is developing the CityGPT platform, integrating MODELT and electric vehicles as mobile IoT carriers. Through the “Super App”, Foxconn is connecting smart transportation and smart tourism to offer enhanced intelligent services.

AUO Corporation is dedicated to the development of innovative solutions, actively promoting applications in smart displays, AIoT, and 5G technologies through the AUO Solution Research and Development Center. In collaboration with the ITRI, they have integrated physical and virtual experiences with the “AI Cross-screen Navigation System” on the smart ferry in Asia New Bay Area, creating a globally leading “Transparent Micro LED AI Smart Window”. Recently, AUO also launched Taiwan’s first and largest “Suspended Curved Mini LED Sky Screen” at KW2 shopping mall, enhancing the visual experience. Leveraging the industrial cluster’s advantages of Asia New Bay Area, AUO has assembled over 15 partners in industry chain to extend the vertical economy and pioneer three major cross-domain AI innovations. These efforts aim to introduce advanced display technologies in Asia New Bay Area, driving the group’s growth potential in deepening vertical markets.

Pegatron, leveraging its years of expertise and AI technology integration, provides comprehensive solutions for the digital transformation and AI advancement of the global manufacturing industry. The company has established its second R&D center in Taiwan, located in ANBA, focusing on the development of AI-driven intelligent systems. This initiative has also facilitated the digital transformation of over 15 manufacturing firms, positioning ANBA as a hub for an international digital transformation alliance.

With those International Enterprises leading the charge, ANBA has become more than just Taiwan’s AI frontier—it is a key player in the global technology ecosystem. Strengthened by international investment and local expertise, ANBA is forging cross-regional partnerships with North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, setting new benchmarks for AI-driven smart manufacturing. As Taiwan continues to push the boundaries of AI and next-generation industries, Kaohsiung is poised to play a defining role in shaping the future of global technology.
