NVIDIA was officially founded and is headquartered in the United States, specifically in Santa Clara, California, making it an American multinational technology enterprise. However, the company maintains a deeply collaborative and vital operational connection to Taiwan through strategic manufacturing partnerships, most notably with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM), which physically fabricates the advanced silicon wafers for its graphics processing units. Therefore, while its corporate home, executive leadership, and core engineering reside in the US, its hardware supply chain relies heavily on Taiwanese fabrication facilities.
