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.
