Reading guide
Robin notes that NVIDIA’s Taiwanese partners include both major hardware companies and nascent software startups. Amid the AI wave, the transition from old to new, and hardware–software integration, he believes Taiwan can play more critical roles. He cites NVIDIA’s market capitalization that day as approximately US$783.4 billion, the fifth largest in the U.S. market; these figures are as of May 19, 2023, and have not been independently verified. He hopes this will help Taiwan keep upgrading and transforming in AI. He ends with a retrospective quip: investing several years earlier, when the market capitalization was around US$20 billion, would have produced roughly a fortyfold return over seven years. This is not investment advice.
Key points
- NVIDIA’s Taiwanese partners include major hardware companies and software startups.

- The market-capitalization figures refer to May 19, 2023, and have not been independently verified.
- The fortyfold-return comment is Robin’s retrospective quip, not investment advice.
