SoftBank Group Corp.
SoftBank Corp. and SoftBank Group Corp. announced they will establish SB Neo, Inc. (“SB Neo,” tentative name), a company that will operate a neocloud business in the United States. SB Neo will be established in the United States in July 2026, and 51% owned by SoftBank Corp. and 49% owned by SoftBank Group Corp., and a consolidated subsidiary of SoftBank Corp.
Leveraging the SoftBank Group's 10-gigawatt-scale energy and AI infrastructure currently under development, in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028 (FY2027) SB Neo will launch neocloud services that provide major U.S. enterprises, including hyperscalers, with the computing resources needed for large-scale AI model training and inference. To meet the strong demand for AI computing resources in the United States, SB Neo will expand its service capacity in phases, with plans to later deploy AI infrastructure on a 10-gigawatt scale.
In Japan, SoftBank Corp. has been providing a beta version of its GPU cloud service powered by “Infrinia AI Cloud OS,” a software stack for AI data centers, since May 2026. SoftBank Corp. will leverage the expertise and insights gained through this initiative to drive its business in the United States. SoftBank Group Corp. is already advancing large-scale AI infrastructure projects in the United States, and will support SB Neo’s business by leveraging its infrastructure, personnel and other resources.
Masayoshi Son, Chairman & CEO of SoftBank Group Corp., said: “The SoftBank Group will work together to deploy world-class AI infrastructure and drive the AI revolution.”
Junichi Miyakawa, President & CEO of SoftBank Corp., said: “With the strong demand for AI data centers in the United States and the SoftBank Group making steady progress toward securing 10 gigawatts of power, we are partnering with SoftBank Group Corp. to develop our neocloud business in the United States. We also plan to proceed with the construction of gigawatt-scale AI data centers in Japan as soon as preparations are in place.”
