At the signing ceremony, Governor Toyohito Ikeda pointed out the prefecture’s readiness for hosting next, generation computing infrastructure and AI, driven businesses.<\/p>
He explained that Kagawa’s geographical and operational advantages are GPU, based facilities friendly, and the collaboration with Nvidia will be a department of the AI expansion among the enterprises of the whole region.<\/p>
Kagawa prefectural government also anticipates that the project will generate a cluster of companies using Nvidia’s graphics processing technologies, thus, making it possible to establish a local AI, data processing, and digital services, focused ecosystem<\/p>

One way to further strengthen the region’s capability to withstand shocks is through diversified digital economies.<\/p>
For smaller prefectures such as Kagawa, partnering with a world AI leader brings credibility and access to technical know, how that would be quite challenging to develop on one’s own.<\/p>
