It’s safe to say that much of the world’s semiconductors run on designs built by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC). At the last estimate, the company accounted for about 64 percent of the world’s contract chip manufacturing.
These designs are powering many of the AI technology breakthroughs that NVIDIA is developing. With that in mind, it might come as little surprise that Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s CEO, had nothing but praise for TSMC during its recent Sports Day event.
Huang went as far as to say that NVIDIA wouldn’t exist without TSMC.
## Jensen Huang Honors TSMC at Sports Day
The comments were made during TSMC’s Sports Day, a recent event held at a stadium in Taiwan, as reported by the online news outlet Focus Taiwan. Huang expressed his admiration for TSMC’s pivotal role in NVIDIA’s history and its broad impact on technology, stating:
> “Without TSMC, there is no NVIDIA today. You are really the pride of Taiwan, you are also the pride of the world. Thank you for helping me build NVIDIA.”
## A Collaborative Partnership Spanning Three Decades
NVIDIA and TSMC have been working closely together for nearly 30 years. NVIDIA has consistently benefited from TSMC’s technological breakthroughs, which are integral to the development of NVIDIA’s cutting-edge products, including the Blackwell AI chips.
With such an extensive history of success, Huang clearly has more than a vested interest in maintaining strong relations with TSMC—especially as the company and the Taiwan region face challenges in trade and export negotiations with the United States government.
This enduring partnership continues to be a cornerstone for innovation in the semiconductor industry and artificial intelligence technology worldwide.
