We are opening a new Taipei office, which will be Google’s largest AI infrastructure hardware engineering hub outside of the U.S. This multidisciplinary hub, home to hundreds of employees, is designed to accelerate AI innovation.

This builds on Google’s existing presence in Taiwan, which is a unique setting that connects the critical elements for building AI infrastructure, from design and engineering to manufacturing and deployment. Our first data center in Asia Pacific was in Taiwan, and we’ve invested in multiple international subsea cables, which are joint projects with other technology companies, connecting Taiwan to the world.

The technology developed and tested in this Taipei hub will be deployed in Google's data centers and AI infrastructure around the world. It forms the backbone of the services that billions of people rely on every day, from Search and YouTube to the latest innovations powered by Gemini. We are proud of this ongoing investment in Taiwan and global AI innovation.
