SoftBank Prepares IPO of AI Company Roze Valued at $100 Billion

SoftBank is reportedly planning to establish a new company focused on artificial intelligence, robotics, and data center infrastructure called Roze. This company will operate independently and is planned to go public in the United States with a target valuation of up to $100 billion, according to a Financial Times report.
This move is part of SoftBank's aggressive strategy to strengthen its position in the global AI sector, as demand for high-performance computing and data center infrastructure supporting the development of generative AI models increases.
In recent years, SoftBank through Vision Fund has made significant investments in AI-based technology and automation companies. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son previously also emphasized his ambition to make the group a major player in the AI revolution, including through the development of chip ecosystems, robotics, and computing platforms.
Additionally, global trends show a surge in investments in the data center and AI sectors, driven by expansions from companies like NVIDIA and Microsoft, which continue to increase computing capacity for AI needs. SoftBank sees a great opportunity to integrate robotics and AI technology into a scalable business entity that is attractive to public investors.
The Roze IPO plan in the US also reflects SoftBank's effort to access the world's largest capital market while attracting global investor interest in the rapidly growing AI sector.
