Nvidia's Beitou-Shilin Technology Park Signing Timeline Reportedly Delayed; Taipei City Government Intervention Emerges as Key Variable

Nvidia's signing for its Beitou-Shilin Technology Park headquarters in Taipei was delayed from 2025 to February 2026 due to city government intervention. The delay stemmed from the government's insistence on direct negotiations, despite an earlier agreement between Nvidia and Shin Kong Life Insurance. The final contract premium was NT$12.2 billion ($374.6 million).
