KDDI AI and robotics business expansion

Overview

KDDI has initiated several strategic moves to expand its artificial intelligence and digital transformation footprint. Initially, the company entered a partnership with LG CNS to develop AI agent services, industrial automation, and smart city solutions across the Asia-Pacific region, specifically targeting markets such as Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and China.

Subsequently, KDDI launched the ‘Alliance Park Project’ in Sakai, Osaka, to serve as a regional hub for integrating AI developers, robotics firms, and research institutions. This initiative includes significant infrastructure upgrades to the Osaka-Sakai data center to support large-scale AI processing via platforms like NVIDIA HGX Rubin NVL8. Additionally, KDDI established ELYZA Robotics to focus on robot foundation models, aiming to deploy over 1,000 robots across the retail, logistics, manufacturing, and agriculture sectors by fiscal year 2030.
