00:00Here at the 2026 NVIDIA GTC, Taiwan's tech companies are hard to mix.
00:06Right next to me is key supply chain players like Wishtron and Wei-In.
00:11Nearby is Inventech, a major AI server maker.
00:16And over there is leading power solutions provider, Zilta Electronics.
00:23Even household names like ASUS are here.
00:25NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang made a stop at the computer maker's booth.
00:30Signing his name on one of their products.
00:33Huang has also voiced his support for supplier Gigabyte,
00:36who is showing off some of his latest hardware at GTC.
01:08Ahead of GTC, Jensen Huang described,
01:10the AI industry as a five-layer cake.
01:13Starting from the button, there is energy, chips, infrastructure, models and applications.
01:20And most of these layers rely heavily on Taiwan's technology.
01:40Taiwan is best known for its hardware strengths.
01:43But many software startups are also here in Silicon Valley looking to win more clients and expand globally.
01:51The question now is how Taiwan can better stake its position in the AI race.
01:57At this year's GTC, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has repeatedly highlighted the importance of Taiwan's tech ecosystem.
02:05And here on the show floor, it's clear that Taiwanese companies cover every part of the AI supply chain.
02:13With global demand for AI high and the need for hardware to make it strong,
02:19these firms are expected to keep playing a key role in this booming industry.
