Masayoshi Son, Founder and head of Softbank, would be planning the creation of an industrial park in Arizona, United States, with a total investment of $ 1 trillion. For this, he would seek a partnership with TSMC and tax incentives from the current US government.
The idea is not yet official, but comes from sources close to the executive, according to Bloomberg. The idea of ​​Softbank’s project would be the creation of a complex in the way of what already exists in Shenzhen, China, with the aim of attracting AI manufacture and advanced robotics to Uncle Sam’s land.
Rumors do not explain for now what would be the involvement of TSMC in these planes. The company already plans heavy investments in the US, and precisely in Arizona has recently begun the mass production of chips from one of its first factories. We also have no information whether TSMC would indeed be interested in this partnership.
Softbank seeks more partnerships for your project
Also according to Bloomberg sources, the project would have code name Project Crystal Land, and Son would be actively seeking more partnerships to make its ambition reality.
The idea is not to invest all this money alone or with TSMC, but to earn a sufficient number of interested companies so that the complex finished has a value invested near the $ 1 trillion.
Among the processed companies would also be Samsung that, like TSMC and Softbank itself, declined to officially comment on the matter.
In addition to technology giants, the Japanese company would also be organizing a list of startups that had Softbank’s own investment to perhaps create facilities in Project Crystal Lands. These are companies like Agile Robots SE, focusing on robotics and automation technologies.
Project Crystal Land must involve Trump administration
To make his vision a reality, Softbank’s founder would be negotiating with representatives of the current US government. Bloomberg sources even mention that meetings with Trump administration secretary Howard Lutnick have occurred.
