Microsoft has announced a $10 billion (¥1.6 trillion) investment in Japan from 2026 through 2029, built around three pillars: technology, trust and talent. The commitments include expanding country infrastructure, collaboration with domestic partners to expand artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure options within Japan, deepening public-private cybersecurity partnerships with Japan’s national institutions, and training more than 1 million engineers, developers and workers across Japan’s most strategically important industries by 2030.
The announcements were made during a visit to Tokyo by Brad Smith, Microsoft vice chair and president, and build on the $2.9 billion investment Microsoft made in Japan in April 2024. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has made both growth investment in advanced technologies and economic security a national priority. Each commitment Microsoft is announcing today maps directly to Japan’s growth and economic security priorities.
