Wistron is doubling down on artificial intelligence (AI), signaling its intent to capitalize on the surging demand for AI technologies. Chairman Lin Hsien-Ming recently announced that the company will allocate a staggering NT$35.5 billion (US$1.08 billion) to capital expenditures in 2025, a sharp 77% increase from the previous year. Of this amount, NT$13 billion will be invested directly into AI-related production. Despite global economic uncertainties and the potential impact of tariffs, Wistron’s leadership remains undeterred, betting that the growing need for AI will continue to drive business success, with a return on these investments expected by 2026.
