Jensen Huang in Tokyo: Is NVIDIA the Missing Link in Japan's AI Ecosystem?

NVIDIA held a media and analyst briefing in Tokyo, where Jensen Huang declared, "Starting from here is the beginning of Japan's AI." The visit was timely as local media have noted that Japan has been overshadowed in the AI space by its neighbours, with China’s trade issues and South Korea’s memory boom. However, Jensen made it very clear that Japan is a priority for the company, and several announcements backed up his claim.

MWC Shanghai 2026 was dominated by AI, with vendors and operators positioning it as a new layer of telecom infrastructure rather than only a tool for network efficiency.
