Fujitsu and NVIDIA have expanded their strategic collaboration to create full-stack AI infrastructure that integrates AI agents. The initiative, which will start in Japan and expand from there, aims to bolster enterprises’ competitive edge through AI, while preserving their autonomy in AI utilization. It will do this by focusing on co-developing and delivering an AI agent platform tailored for industry-specific AI agents in sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, and robotics, along with an AI computing infrastructure that seamlessly integrates the FUJITSU-MONAKA CPU series and NVIDIA GPUs via NVIDIA NVLink Fusion. The combined AI agent platform and computing infrastructure will accelerate the AI industrial revolution with AI agents that continuously learn and improve. This will enable cross-industry, self-evolving, full-stack AI infrastructure, overcoming the limitations of general purpose computing systems.

Although generative AI is already helping people communicate and create more quickly, high costs and technical hurdles can make it challenging to deploy, which confines its benefits primarily to large enterprises. To accelerate AI adoption and drive industrial transformation, the collaboration between Fujitsu and NVIDIA is intended to strengthen corporate competitiveness through AI while maintaining corporate autonomy in AI utilization.

“Through this initiative, Fujitsu aims to transform industries starting in Japan, fostering widespread AI adoption that expands globally, thereby enhancing competitiveness across all sectors and contributing to a sustainable society,” said Takahito Tokita, Representative Director, CEO of Fujitsu.

Working with NVIDIA, Fujitsu aims to realize a human-AI co-creation cycle and continuous system evolution by integrating high-speed AI computing with human judgment and creativity. Specifically, it will accelerate manufacturing using digital twins, leverage physical AI, including robotics for operational automation to address labour shortages, and stimulate human innovation. The resulting cross-industry, full-stack AI infrastructure will deploy advanced AI to achieve transformative automation and intelligence previously unattainable.

The AI industrial revolution has already begun,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. “Building the infrastructure to power it is essential in Japan and around the world.” What this means is that this relationship is more than a tech alliance. It’s a signal that AI + robotics will be a cornerstone of national competitiveness, social solutions, and global leadership in the next decade.

“Fujitsu’s strategic collaboration with NVIDIA will accelerate AI-driven business transformation in enterprise and government sectors,” Huang added. “By combining the cutting-edge technologies of both companies, we will develop and provide full-stack AI infrastructure, starting with sectors such as manufacturing where Japan is a global leader. To further support the expanding needs of AI infrastructure, Fujitsu and NVIDIA will expand this partnership in the areas of high-performance computing and quantum.”

Huang emphasized the significance of this.

“Fujitsu is a true pioneer in computing and Japan’s trusted leader in supercomputing, quantum research, and enterprise systems,” he stated. “Together, NVIDIA and Fujitsu are connecting and extending our ecosystems to forge a powerful partnership for the era of AI.”

Fujitsu is focused on three key initiatives with NVIDIA as part of the expanded collaboration:

The first is co-development of a self-evolving AI agent platform for industries. This involves development of an AI agent platform that balances high speed and strong security through multi-tenancy support, built on Fujitsu Kozuchi and integrating Fujitsu’s AI workload orchestrator technology (developed with Fujitsu AI computing broker technology) with the NVIDIA Dynamo platform. It also involves the  creation of a mechanism enabling AI agents and AI models to autonomously evolve and be customized for specific sectors like healthcare and manufacturing and customer needs, achieved by leveraging NVIDIA NeMo and enhancing Fujitsu’s multi-AI agent technologies, including optimization of Fujitsu’s Takane AI model. The provision of these developed AI agents as NVIDIA NIM microservices will accelerate and streamline AI adoption for customers with optimized inferences.

The second initiative is the co-development and promotion of next-generation computing infrastructure. This involves the co-development of a high-speed, sophisticated next-generation computing infrastructure, integrating Fujitsu’s cutting-edge FUJITSU-MONAKA CPU series with NVIDIA’s high-performance GPUs, coupled by NVIDIA NVLink-Fusion. It also involves the co-creation of an optimized, AI computing platform from the silicon-level designed for zetascale performance, enabling widespread industrial adoption. Finally, it also means the provision of a comprehensive HPC-AI ecosystem through integrated software, combining Fujitsu’s high-speed software technology for ARM with NVIDIA CUDA, offering one-stop support for AI transformation.

The third initiative is driving customer engagement. This involves the establishment of a robust partner ecosystem to amplify the utilization of AI agents and models, with the ability to develop joint partner programs to accelerate ecosystem growth. It also means the development of transformative use cases, starting in specific industrial sectors, leveraging the AI infrastructure to support society. Also critical here is the promotion of AI-driven societal transformation in sectors such as robotics through the social implementation of advanced technologies like physical AI, thereby contributing to customer growth.

Through this collaboration with NVIDIA, Fujitsu aims to unlock new AI markets in previously challenging domains. By establishing this AI infrastructure as an indispensable social foundation for Japan’s digital society by 2030, the initiative will accelerate enterprise AI market growth, fostering corporate development and creating significant social value.
