At NVIDIA AI Summit Japan, Japan aims to establish itself as a global leader in AI, beginning with impressive advances in AI-driven language models. Japanese technology experts are developing sophisticated models that capture the unique nuances of the Japanese language and culture. This precision is crucial for industries like healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.
But Japan isn’t pursuing this goal alone. Consulting giants like Accenture, Deloitte, EY Japan, FPT, Kyndryl, and TCS Japan are joining forces with NVIDIA to create AI innovation hubs nationwide. These centers use NVIDIA’s AI software and specialized Japanese language models to design tailored AI solutions, empowering industries to boost productivity within a digital workforce. The ultimate goal? To fully integrate Japanese companies with enterprise and physical AI.
NVIDIA’s Omniverse platform is one standout technology driving this initiative. Using Omniverse, Japanese companies can develop digital twins—virtual replicas of real-world assets—and safely test complex AI systems before implementation. For industries like manufacturing and robotics, this capability is a game-changer, enabling process refinement without real-world risk. This approach represents more than just innovation; in fact, it’s a key part of Japan’s strategic response to the challenges ahead.
Japan’s AI Vision: Leading Through Innovation and Industry Collaboration | NVIDIA AI Summit Japan
Japan faces a shrinking workforce as its population ages. With its expertise in robotics and automation, Japan is well-positioned to leverage AI to bridge this gap. Recently, the Japanese government shared its vision of becoming “the world’s most AI-friendly country,” emphasizing AI’s critical role in shaping Japan’s future.
Japan’s commitment to AI is evident. Its AI market hit $5.9 billion this year, reflecting more than 31.2% growth rate according to IDC. New AI-focused consulting centers in Tokyo and Kansai provide Japanese businesses with hands-on access to NVIDIA’s latest technologies, helping them tackle social challenges and drive economic growth.
Top cloud providers like SoftBank, GMO Internet Group, KDDI, Highreso, Rutilea, and SAKURA Internet are also on board, and they are actively collaborating with NVIDIA to build robust AI infrastructure. Backed by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, these companies are establishing AI data centers across Japan to fuel growth in robotics, automotive, healthcare, and telecom sectors.
NVIDIA and SoftBank’s partnership further advances this vision with plans to build Japan’s most powerful AI supercomputer using NVIDIA’s Blackwell platform. In addition, SoftBank has tested the world’s first AI and 5G hybrid telecom network through NVIDIA’s AI Aerial platform, further positioning Japan to set a new global standard. Through these strides, Japan is firmly establishing itself as a leader in the AI-driven industrial revolution.
