President-elect Donald Trump and SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son are expected to announce a significant investment in US projects during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. The company plans to invest $100 billion over the next four years, aiming to create 100,000 new jobs in the United States. This announcement comes as part of SoftBank's commitment to bolstering the American economy through strategic investments.
SoftBank's previous investment pledge in December 2016, which amounted to $50 billion and 50,000 jobs, demonstrated the company's dedication to fostering economic growth in the US. While the actual investment through SoftBank's Vision Fund exceeded the initial commitment, the exact number of jobs created remains challenging to quantify accurately.
The upcoming $100 billion investment will have a specific focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and AI infrastructure. This strategic direction includes investments in energy, data centers, and semiconductor chips, aligning with the growing importance of AI technologies in various industries.
