Alphabet’s Google has strengthened its global artificial intelligence (AI) footprint by opening its largest AI infrastructure hardware engineering center outside the United States, choosing Taiwan as the strategic location. The move underscores Taiwan’s growing significance in the global tech ecosystem and reinforces its role as a trusted partner in advanced technology development.
Taiwan is already a cornerstone of the worldwide semiconductor supply chain, home to industry titan TSMC, whose high-performance chips are essential to AI leaders such as Nvidia. By deepening its investment in the island, Google is tapping into a well-established innovation hub that continues to fuel the global AI boom.
During the opening ceremony in Taipei, Aamer Mahmood, Google’s vice president of engineering, emphasized the far-reaching impact of the new center. He noted that technology built and tested in Taiwan will support Google data centers across the globe, powering devices and services used by billions every day. Mahmood added that this expansion represents more than just a new facility—it reflects Google's confidence in Taiwan’s tech ecosystem and its key role in global AI innovation.
Taiwan President Lai Ching-te welcomed Google’s long-term commitment, stating that the investment highlights Taiwan’s importance not only in the global tech supply chain but also in the development of secure and trustworthy AI systems. His remarks come as Taiwan continues to caution against the use of Chinese-developed AI platforms, such as DeepSeek, citing security concerns—claims that Beijing routinely rejects.
Raymond Greene, the de facto U.S. ambassador in Taipei, said the new Google engineering center showcases the strong and evolving technology partnership between the United States and Taiwan. He described the moment as the beginning of a “new golden age” in bilateral economic relations, fueled by innovation and shared strategic interests.
Google’s latest expansion signals confidence in Taiwan’s stability, technical talent, and critical role in shaping the future of AI infrastructure worldwide.
