Recently, the top executives of NVIDIA and AMD made back-to-back trips to Japan, each looking to tap into the country’s expanding AI sector.
The Japanese AI market has become a hot spot for tech investments, with the nation pouring resources into the sector to maintain a competitive edge globally. Japan’s eager outreach to technology leaders like NVIDIA and AMD underscores its ambition to become a prime hub for AI development. The high-profile visits from NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang and AMD’s Lisa Su highlight Japan’s strategic importance for these companies as they seek to extend their influence and secure investments in the region.
Jensen Huang’s itinerary included discussions on boosting Japan’s power production to support increased AI infrastructure needs. He met with Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to explore pathways for Japan to carve out a strong position in AI, leveraging its established prowess in robotics and industrial tech. Huang even presented a DGX Spark AI supercomputer to the prime minister, symbolizing NVIDIA’s dedication to fostering Japan’s technological advancements.
NVIDIA’s interest in Japan is becoming more urgent as the company navigates challenges in retaining its market share in China, complicated by recent US export limitations and rising competition. Seeking stability, NVIDIA is pivoting towards Japan, which offers rich opportunities in research and development and aspires to play a pivotal role in the global AI sphere.
In parallel, Lisa Su’s visit to Japan involved engaging with government officials and partners. Although the details remain somewhat under wraps, it’s evident that Japan is keen on collaborating with AMD. The government appears to favor building robust ties with AMD to support its AI goals, positioning Japan as a critical battleground for market influence between the two tech giants.
Both NVIDIA and AMD are clearly eyeing Japan as a promising arena for growth, signaling a spirited competition to secure a solid foothold in the burgeoning AI landscape there.
