SoftBank is creating a new cloud business company called SB Neo, aimed at providing high demand AI infrastructure for US hyperscale data center operators and enterprise customers. SB Neo is planned to be established in Delaware, USA this month (July 2026), with SoftBank Corporation holding 51% of its shares and SoftBank Group holding the remaining 49%. SB Neo will become a merged subsidiary of SoftBank Corporation.

SB Neo will utilize SoftBank Group’s currently developing 10 gigawatt level energy and AI infrastructure to provide computing resources for large-scale AI model training and inference to major US enterprises, including hyperscale enterprises, in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028 (fiscal year 2027), officially launching a new cloud service. To meet the strong demand for AI computing resources in the United States, SB Neo will gradually expand its service capacity and ultimately plan to deploy AI infrastructure with a scale of up to 10 gigawatts.

In Japan, SoftBank has been offering a beta version of its GPU cloud service since May 2026, supported by the AI data center software stack “Infernia AI Cloud OS”. SoftBank will use the professional knowledge and experience accumulated through this project to drive its business in the United States. SoftBank Group has been advancing large-scale AI infrastructure projects in the United States and will support SB Neo’s business by providing infrastructure, personnel, and other resources.

Masayoshi Son, Chairman and CEO of SoftBank Group, stated that “SoftBank Group will work together to deploy world-class AI infrastructure and drive the AI revolution. ”

Junichi Miyakawa, President and CEO of SoftBank, stated, “Given the strong demand for AI data centers in the United States and SoftBank Group’s steady progress in ensuring a 10 gigawatt power supply, we are partnering with SoftBank Group to develop our new cloud business in the United States. We also plan to launch the construction of a gigawatt level AI data center in Japan as soon as the preparations are ready. ”
