Taiwan’s Kentec-Agaruda Alliance, Hitachi and Nidek Collaborate to Introduce “AI World Simulator” and Co-Create 1GW-Class National AI Infrastructure in Kyushu
Following the revival of Kyushu Silicon Island brought about by TSMC’s expansion into Kumamoto, Japan-Taiwan cooperation is entering a new chapter: “AI infrastructure.” On the 12th, a Taiwanese consortium including Kentec, a subsidiary of the Kenmec Group, and Agaruda System, a leading AI digital twin company, announced a strategic partnership with Hitachi Energy, Nidec, and Shin-Etsu Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (SSI).
Shin-Etsu Scientific Instruments (SSI) and China Development Bank (CDIB Capital) have already secured a 1GW (gigawatt) power supply base in Kagoshima Prefecture. The two companies plan to integrate Taiwan’s mature server supply chain with Japan’s leading power and cooling technologies to build a data center capable of supplying 350MW of AI computing power. This will meet the rapidly growing demand for AI in Japan and help build a robust “AI digital resilience.”

The next step in “Japan-Taiwan co-creation”: from chip manufacturing to computing power infrastructure Regarding the strategic significance of this partnership, Kingwin Technology Chairman Xie Ming-Kai said, “Japan has land, electricity, and the world’s best infrastructure technology, while Taiwan has the world’s most complete AI server supply chain and system integration capabilities. Kingwin Technology and Agaruda System will serve as an important bridge, orderly introducing the production capabilities of seven major Taiwanese AI server companies, including Foxconn, Quanta, Giga Computing, and ASUS, to Japan. This will help Japanese companies quickly secure the key equipment needed to build AI data centers and create a ‘combat-ready’ supply chain.”
Chairman Hsieh further emphasized, “The lifeblood of this project is 日立 Energy’s high-voltage power system and equipment from Nidec, the only company in the world designated by Google in the field of water-cooling control. We are committed to creating a win-win model of ‘Japan’s core technology + Taiwan’s manufacturing and integration capabilities.'” The greatest significance of this Japan-Taiwan joint fleet is that it will introduce Taiwan’s mature “ecosystem” to support Japan’s infrastructure construction and inject powerful momentum into Japan’s “National AI Computing Project.”
Introducing the “AI World Simulator” and building a data center that thinks in terms of a digital twinTo efficiently operate the massive 1GW infrastructure, Agaruda System will introduce its proprietary “AI World Simulator” technology, which will be the decisive difference between this project and conventional data centers.
Hsu Chieh-Kuei, Chairman of Pengshuo Systems, explained: “Through Agaruda’s Cintamani platform, we will create a 1:1 virtual reproduction of the planned construction site in Kagoshima. By combining IPD (Integrated Project Delivery) methods, we will be able to carry out design and construction in parallel, and use AI simulation to predict interference. This will significantly shorten (by 30%) the data center construction period, which previously took several years, and contribute to the early achievement of the Japanese government’s computing power development target.”
Chairman Huh continues , “Agaruda’s AI brain works in tandem with Nidek’s cooling equipment and Hitachi’s power system at the 0.1 second level (millisecond resolution). It goes beyond passive monitoring and actively predicts GPU loads and adjusts cooling resources, allowing the entire data center to function like a ‘thinking organism’, maximizing energy efficiency.”
In addition, Kingwin Technology revealed that this project is primarily being carried out in collaboration with NVIDIA to simulate a data center machine model using a digital twin. As one of the few EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) companies that can precisely simulate even thermal circulation, Kingwin Technology significantly shortens its customers’ design time and provides an environment in which information within the data center can be constantly monitored.
