The surge in AI development is significantly impacting the memory chip market, with increased demand and innovation. Japanese startups are capitalising on this boom, attracting substantial funding to enhance their AI capabilities. Sakana AI and Turing recently secured ¥35 billion, highlighting confidence in Japan's AI innovation. Sakana AI, founded by ex-Google Brain researchers, focuses on biologically inspired AI, while Turing specialises in enterprise generative AI solutions. The Japanese government is also investing heavily in domestic AI to reduce reliance on foreign technology. These investments are expected to drive advancements in AI applications across various sectors, potentially positioning Japan as a key player in the global AI landscape. Furthermore, Nvidia is partnering with RIKEN, Japan's research institute, integrating 2,140 Blackwell GPUs into supercomputers for AI and quantum computing, solidifying Japan's position in AI research.
