Fujitsu Limited and IBM Japan have agreed to explore collaboration in AI, hybrid cloud, and healthcare within the Japanese market.
By combining their technologies and expertise, the two companies aim to accelerate innovation, co-create new value, and leverage advanced technology to address social challenges and contribute to building a better society.
With AI adoption accelerating across industries, companies are seeking productivity gains and competitive advantages through tailored, industry- and business-specific AI solutions. However, building the right AI infrastructure has become an urgent priority.
Fujitsu and IBM Japan plan to drive social innovation in the AI era by combining their strengths. The two companies will integrate their business expertise, Japan-optimized large language models (LLMs), cross-sector AI governance, and orchestration capabilities to explore joint development of specialized AI solutions and an integrated AI platform.
As IT systems increasingly shift toward hybrid cloud environments, challenges such as enhancing data center operations, optimizing costs, and modernizing legacy systems have come to the forefront. Fujitsu and IBM Japan aim to drive social system innovation in this space through their collaboration.
By combining their strengths in both general-purpose and industry-specific cloud environments, the companies will explore advanced applications in data center collaboration, automation, and FinOps — a framework that integrates finance and operations for efficient and sustainable resource utilization.
Their efforts will also focus on building cloud systems that align with Japan’s domestic laws and regulations.
