Taipei, June 1 (CNA) Jensen Huang (黃仁勳), CEO of U.S.-based chipmaker Nvidia Corp., threw the ceremonial first pitch before a Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) game between the Wei Chuan Dragons and the CTBC Brothers in Taipei on Saturday.

Sporting a No. 93 Wei Chuan Dragons home jersey, Huang delivered a brief speech to a huge crowd of cheering fans at the Taipei Dome ahead of the baseball game.

“This is a very exciting time for Taiwan. We are at the beginning of a new age of computing, the age of AI [artificial intelligence], and Taiwan is at the center,” Huang said.

Taiwan is home to Nvidia’s treasured partners, including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Foxconn, Quanta Computer, and Advantech, he said, thanking them for supporting and partnering with Nvidia for almost 30 years.

Later, Huang also elicited a huge cheer from the crowd when he spoke in Taiwanese Hokkien, expressing his anxiety about throwing the first pitch before the Dragons and Brothers game.
