Industry Findings: Taiwan’s procurement posture now blends industrial strategy with platform procurement: enterprises demand platforms that can host high-throughput AI and enterprise workloads while aligning with the island’s semiconductor-rich supply chain and energy constraints. Buyers favour PaaS providers who can demonstrate GPU/AI-ready capacity, local engineering partnerships, and integration with national data utilities — making sovereign-capable and hardware-aware platform stacks a competitive differentiator.
Industry Progression: A material, verifiable infrastructure development was GMI Cloud’s announcement to build a $500 million AI data centre in Taiwan (Nov-2025), supported by Nvidia; that commitment adds large-scale inference capacity and signals the maturation of domestically-hosted AI compute, enabling PaaS vendors and ISVs to design AI-native runtimes with on-island GPUs and lowering the need to transfer large datasets offshore.
Industry Player Insights: The market comprises many players, and a small portion of them includes Google Cloud, Chunghwa Telecom, GMI Cloud, and Foxconn / Wistron ecosystem partners etc. Google and Chunghwa provide established cloud and connectivity footprints, while GMI Cloud and large industrial groups (Foxconn/Wistron) are investing in AI compute capacity—together creating PaaS choices that combine developer services, local GPU power, and supply-chain integration that appeal to Taiwanese enterprises building AI-first applications.
