AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

AI Infrastructure Push: NVIDIA has finalized multi-billion-dollar “AI factory” deals across Japan, aiming to supply GPU clusters and networking for new high-performance training sites. Energy Crunch: Data centers are already straining power grids, with projections that AI-driven electricity demand could surge sharply by 2030–2035, reshaping energy planning. Defense Tech & Drones: Rakuten is brokering Helsing’s HX-2 strike drone trials with Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force, highlighting how Japan’s procurement rules are opening doors for foreign defense AI. Industrial Automation in Asia: Epson is expanding in the Philippines (Batangas) to produce industrial robots, targeting commercial operations in March 2027. Robotics Meets Demographics: A new fertility-and-automation narrative is feeding VC models, with aging and reshoring driving robot investment faster than eldercare. Cybersecurity Risk: Reports say thousands of North Korean IT workers are infiltrating US companies via remote-job schemes, using AI-assisted résumés and stolen identities. Markets & Rates: US Treasury buyback plans boosted risk assets and pressured the dollar, while Japan’s tech selloff and bond-yield moves kept investors cautious. Japan Tech Culture: Weekly Shōnen Jump print circulation has fallen below 1 million as readers shift to digital.
