We feel a lot of pull from places like Japan and Asia broadly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI, reportedly valued at $80 billion or more earlier this year, is the latest major tech firm to invest in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft, one of OpenAI\u2019s biggest investors, last week announced a separate $2.9 billion investment to provide Japan with the powerful graphics processing units crucial for running AI apps, and to train three million Japanese workers in AI skills.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon Web Services is spending $14 billion to expand its cloud infrastructure in Japan, while Google has launched a regional cybersecurity hub in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Experts say geopolitical tensions have made Japan an increasingly attractive partner for tech firms compared to China, in addition to advantages such as supportive policies and a highly educated talent pool.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happens in Tokyo can create a buzz,\u201d Hideaki Yokota, vice president of the MM Research Institute, told
