SoftBank Corp is advancing a government-backed research project that combines quantum computing, supercomputing and artificial intelligence for industrial materials development. The initiative gives investors a new technology milestone to track ahead of the company's fiscal second-quarter briefing.

What has changed since the last report

On October 28, 2026, SoftBank and five Japanese partners announced that their joint proposal had been selected by Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, or NEDO. The companies entered an agreement covering fiscal 2026 through fiscal 2028, according to SoftBank's press release.

The consortium includes TOPPAN Holdings, AISIN, Asahi Kasei, AGC and DIC alongside SoftBank. Its objective is to build a materials platform that combines quantum-computing calculations with machine learning and other AI methods, while using experimental feedback to improve predictive accuracy.

SoftBank's role is to operate a computing platform linking quantum computers with supercomputers. The company will generate data for materials research, develop AI-based data-utilization technologies and demonstrate optimization methods in areas including next-generation batteries. The project also covers optical functional materials for displays and sensors as well as superconducting materials.
