Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronics maker, said it will invest T$15.9 billion ($509.94 million) to build its Kaohsiung headquarters in southern Taiwan. The company said this would include a mixed-use commercial and office building and a residential tower.
Construction is scheduled to start in 2027, with completion targeted for 2033.
Foxconn said the headquarters will serve as an important hub linking its operations across southern Taiwan, and once completed will house its smart-city team, software R&D teams, battery-cell R&D teams, EV technology development center and AI application software teams. The Kaohsiung city government said Foxconn’s investments in the city have totaled T$25 billion ($801.8 million) over the past three years.
The Taiwanese company, also known as Hon Hai, is the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer. It makes the servers that hold chips in data centers, and also assembles Apple’s iPhones.

Foxconn recently reported “strong growth” year-on-year for its cloud and networking products, pointing to “momentum for AI server racks,” in its monthly revenue report. It reported revenue of T$844.3 billion ($27 billion) for November. A longstanding partner to large tech companies like Nvidia and Apple, Foxconn has played a major role in the rollout of AI infrastructure lately.
Foxconn also recently announced that it has received regulatory approval to invest an additional $569 million in its Wisconsin operations. The move comes as the company seeks to expand production to meet growing demand for artificial intelligence servers in the United States. The new investment will center on Foxconn’s AI server operations, a move the company says will help bolster U.S. domestic supply chains and reduce reliance on overseas production.

Foxconn had also said that the $1.4 million supercomputing cluster it is building in Taiwan with Nvidia will be ready by the first half of 2026. Once completed, it will be Taiwan’s largest advanced GPU culture. The 27-megawatt data center will be powered by Nvidia’s new Blackwell GB300 chips and is also set to be Asia’s first GB300 AI data center, according to Neo Yao, CEO of a new unit Foxconn, has established for AI supercomputing and cloud operations called Visonbay.ai.
The Taiwanese company also said earlier this year that it will partner with Japan’s SoftBank to produce data center equipment at its former electric vehicle plant in Ohio, a move tied to the Stargate project aimed at boosting U.S. artificial intelligence infrastructure.
