Taiwan’s Solomon Technology, a major player in AI 3D vision, has become the first local firm to adopt Nvidia’s upcoming Jetson Thor platform, deepening ties with the US chipmaker. At the Taipei International Automation Exhibition, the company showcased a humanoid robot simulation system built on its Visual-Language-Action (VLA) model, designed to let robots understand and act on natural-language commands.

Taiwanese engineers offer employers high cost-performance value and a competitive advantage compared to their peers from Europe, the US, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Even as generative AI and the US’s reciprocal tariffs impact job markets elsewhere, Taiwan’s employment situation has remained relatively unaffected, with the labor force in July 2025 actually increasing by 26,000 compared to June 2025. While computer science professionals in the US face layoffs and job shortages, Taiwan’s STEM talent pool continues to see job opportunities in the vast semiconductor and electronics industries.

The spotlight will be on Nvidia as it prepares to release its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 (2QFY26), with the earnings announcement scheduled for August 27, 2025, Eastern Time. Market anticipation centers on three key issues: changes in AI chip demand structure, the ramp-up of Blackwell chip production capacity, and developments regarding the resumption of sales in the Chinese market following export restrictions.
