SoftBank is set to revolutionize Osaka's technological landscape with the construction of a colossal data center. Occupying a substantial portion of the former Sharp LCD panel factory site, the data center will sprawl across 750,000 square meters, boasting a formidable power capacity of over 150MW. This ambitious project is not just about scale; it's a strategic move to foster generative AI development and other AI-related businesses.
The site's transformation is a testament to SoftBank's commitment to innovation. By repurposing the existing infrastructure, including land, buildings, and power supply facilities, SoftBank aims to expedite the construction process. The data center is expected to commence operations in 2025, with potential future expansions increasing its power capacity to over 400MW.
This development is poised to be a hub for academia and industry, offering its facilities to universities, research institutions, and businesses. The focus on AI underscores SoftBank's vision to be at the forefront of technological advancements, while also considering collaborations with Sharp in AI ventures. With this initiative, SoftBank is not only contributing to the tech economy but also paving the way for Osaka to become a landmark city in AI innovation.
