Micron Technology announced plans on November 29, 2025, to invest approximately 1.5 trillion yen (~$9.6 billion) to expand production in Hiroshima. As reported by Nikkei and Reuters, the funds will go toward building a new factory for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), a critical component for AI accelerators (such as NVIDIAs). The project is backed by Japanese government subsidies and aims to strengthen the global supply chain for AI infrastructure.
