Taiwan, aiming to bolster its economic growth and global competitiveness, has proposed a comprehensive plan to invest $510 billion in AI projects. The government's initiatives, unveiled on July 02, 2025, include developing AI-related industries, promoting AI education and training, and establishing AI research and development centers. The goal is to increase Taiwan's competitiveness in the global economy and create new job opportunities.

The proposed projects aim to foster the growth of AI-related businesses, with a target to increase the number of such businesses in Taiwan to 10,000 by 2030. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to leverage Taiwan's strengths in semiconductor manufacturing and technology to drive economic growth.

Among the key players in Taiwan's AI ecosystem, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) stands out. TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, is a crucial supplier to AI leaders such as Nvidia, Tesla, and Apple. Despite facing challenges from currency volatility and US tariffs, TSMC remains optimistic about its long-term prospects, projecting AI-related revenue to double in 2025 with a 40% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2030 [1].

Nvidia, another key player, has been a significant player in the AI industry, particularly in the realm of data centers. The company's stock has garnered attention from analysts, with the one-year average price target standing at $183.08 and a potential upside of 6.19% [1]. Digital Realty Trust, a leading data center real estate investment trust (REIT), is also capturing the massive data center buildout trend, with expected year-over-year growth in revenues and funds from operations (FFO) per share [2].

Meta, a major player in the AI sector, has been intensifying its recruitment efforts for its Superintelligence Team, with Mark Zuckerberg directly involved in securing top AI talent. The team now includes Trapit Bansal and Hammad Syed, two Indian researchers, and former Apple AI researchers Mark Lee and Tom Gunter [2].
