Today, ahead of the conference, we are announcing new industrial AI solutions to provide manufacturers with the tools they need to accelerate their data and AI journey, powered by the Microsoft Cloud. Manufacturing data solutions in Microsoft Fabric and copilot template for factory operations on Microsoft Azure AI, now in private preview, are designed to unify data sources across factory operations to democratize data-driven decision-making, drive greater efficiencies, implement connected factory ecosystems, and enable intelligent factories. If you are at #HM24 next week, stop by our Microsoft booth to see these new AI solutions in action, experience over 30 groundbreaking Microsoft and partner demos, and explore our in-booth sessions and events.

In 1978, Microsoft chose Tokyo as the home for its first international office. This marked the beginning of a long-term commitment to innovation and growth with the people and Government of Japan. Today, alongside Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, we proudly announced that Microsoft will invest $2.9 billion over the next two years to increase our hyperscale cloud computing and AI infrastructure in Japan. This investment goes beyond AI infrastructure; it’s a commitment to the people and Government of Japan, including providing AI skilling to 3 million Japanese in the next three years, opening a Microsoft Research Asia lab in Tokyo, and deepening our cybersecurity collaboration with the Japanese Government.
