Foxconn highlights AI systems at its annual technology event
Foxconn’s Hon Hai Tech Day 2026 focused on the components and systems behind AI infrastructure, from manufacturing technologies to rack-scale integration. The company said the seventh annual event featured 321 exhibits, with about a quarter of them in a Token Factory zone. A 20-meter display presented examples of component design, computing systems, power, cooling and data solutions.
Foxconn also displayed NVIDIA’s DSX POD, a standardized, factory-built reference design for integrating NVIDIA Vera Rubin rack-scale AI infrastructure in modular containers. The design allows partners to assemble systems and complete critical validation before shipment, then connect the units to prepared site infrastructure after delivery, according to Foxconn’s announcement. The release described this as Foxconn’s first showcase of the DSX POD.
The company’s exhibits included a simulated AI data hall showing how computing, networking, power and cooling can be designed together. The demonstration included NVIDIA 800 VDC power distribution. Foxconn also presented a cable-free, hose-free and fanless AI server compute tray design, along with co-packaged optics and other power, cooling and high-speed data technologies.
Foxconn chairman Young Liu described the company’s direction in a statement accompanying the event announcement:
“Foxconn is transforming into a technology manufacturing platform service provider.”

The announcement also described facility planning by Visionbay.ai, Foxconn’s AI supercomputing and cloud operations business unit and an NVIDIA Cloud Partner. Visionbay.ai is planning a facility design based on NVIDIA DSX MaxLPS principles, with computing, power and cooling configurations optimized ahead of construction. The release said the planning aims to maximize performance per watt within a fixed power envelope.
A separate report describes a six-month deployment target
DIGITIMES separately reported that Google and Foxconn are aiming to reduce the time from chip supply to data-center deployment from a traditional 12 to 18 months to about six months. The report describes a chip-to-deployment interval, not a promise to complete construction of an entire data-center facility in six months. Foxconn’s event announcement does not state that target.
The Foxconn release says representatives of NVIDIA, Google and Schneider Electric discussed AI infrastructure onstage at the event. It describes the DSX POD in connection with Foxconn’s work on NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform; it does not say that Google and Foxconn will use that system to meet the separately reported six-month target. The event materials outline Foxconn’s demonstrations and planning work, while the six-month figure remains a reported aim rather than a result documented in the release.
Hon Hai Tech Day 2026 was scheduled for October 30–31 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. Foxconn’s announcement presented the exhibits as a view of its manufacturing and system-integration capabilities across AI infrastructure, as well as other fields including robotics, mobility and smart manufacturing.
