Nvidia to Build Multiple Semiconductor Plants with the Help of Startups to Enhance AI Ecosystem in Japan

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated on Monday that the company is planning to build multiple semiconductor fabrication plants to boost the AI ecosystem in Japan.

Nvidia, headquartered in Santa Clara, California, intends to form strategic alliances with Japanese research organisations, corporations, and startups in order to construct semiconductors that will advance the AI ecosystem in Japan. Huang also mentioned that they will set up an AI research laboratory and will invest in local startups.

Nvidia's graphics chips, which execute calculations in parallel to process massive amounts of data, have become the standard instrument for training AI services. As governments and corporations compete to develop their own artificial intelligence capabilities, Nvidia chip prices have skyrocketed.

Nvidia provides semiconductors to several Japanese corporations, including the mobile and data services divisions of Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp., SoftBank Corp., NEC Corp., Sakura Internet Inc., and Mitsui & Co.

Huang assured Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida earlier this week that he would make every effort to prioritise Japan. The country is aspiring to reconstruct its once-preeminent semiconductor infrastructure and catch up to the advancements in artificial intelligence technology. A few weeks ago, the Japanese economic ministry announced its USD 13 billion financial assistance to boost semiconductor manufacturing.
