Fujitsu Group has announced plans to start manufacturing sovereign AI servers in Japan, aiming to bolster digital sovereignty amid evolving global threats and regulatory requirements. The production is set to commence in March 2026 at the company's Kasashima Plant, located in Kawasaki, Japan.
The initiative comes in response to geopolitical shifts and increasing cyber threats, placing a high priority on critical information protection. This is underscored by Japan's Economic Security Promotion Act, which highlights the need for robust system risk management for critical infrastructure. Fujitsu's 'Made in Japan' servers are designed to address these needs by ensuring data security, compliance with local laws, and maintaining operational transparency.
The AI servers will be equipped with NVIDIA HGX B300 and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. The company also plans to produce servers featuring its high-performance FUJITSU-MONAKA processors within fiscal year 2026, introducing confidential computing technology to enhance security.
This manufacturing effort will occur at the Kasashima Plant, drawing on the plant's expertise, which includes production experience with the supercomputer Fugaku. An integrated domestic production system will be established, covering all processes from printed circuit board production to device assembly, starting in June and March 2026, respectively. This system aims to ensure full traceability and transparency, reinforcing digital sovereignty.
Fujitsu is also expanding its strategic partnerships to support these efforts, including collaboration with Super Micro Computer, Inc. The partnerships are intended to streamline planning, development, manufacturing, sales, and maintenance of the AI servers.
The server products are slated for deployment in both Japanese and European markets, indicating Fujitsu's commitment to extending its global reach while supporting local technological advancements.
