AI Factory Japan Project Overview

The partnership establishes GoodVision’s foothold in Japan’s rapidly expanding AI infrastructure market, beginning with a flagship AI Factory in Fukushima.

The initial phase of the project will consist of a 2-megawatt (“MW”) liquid-cooled deployment supporting a cluster of 72 NVIDIA B300 servers with more than 500 GPUs, delivering high-density, enterprise-grade AI inference capacity, with the facility expected to be completed and operational within three months.

Through the initial project, GoodVision anticipates establishing a replicable commercial model for larger-scale AI Factory buildouts in Japan and other international markets.

Combining GoodVision’s leading AI infrastructure integration capabilities with AI Storm’s local market presence and enterprise service expertise, the partners plan to expand AI Factory capacity across Japan, with the Fukushima site serving as a flagship deployment and a core node in GoodVision's global network and infrastructure expansion strategy.

GoodVision's AI Factory platform delivers vertically integrated AI infrastructure solutions spanning GPU system integration, power provisioning, advanced liquid cooling, and ongoing operations. Its containerized architecture enables rapid deployment, capital-efficient scaling, and optimized performance for large-scale AI workloads. Additionally, GoodVision will connect its Smart Routing Engine software solution to AI Factory operations, optimizing AI workflows across available models and computing resources to balance performance, latency, cost, and data requirements.

Highly Competitive Scale Planning (100 MW)

The project is designed around a long-term expansion roadmap targeting a total installed AI compute capacity of 100 MW within the next three years. The deployment strategy follows a phased, capital-efficient model, beginning with the Fukushima flagship AI Factory and expanding through a network of strategically located edge AI Factory facilities across Japan. This modular approach enables GoodVision to scale capacity in alignment with customer demand, power availability, and infrastructure readiness, while reducing execution risk and accelerating time to market.

Specifically, the scaling roadmap is as follows:

Note: The planned expansion to 100 MW is expected to proceed in phases and will depend on factors including customer demand, power availability, equipment procurement, financing, regulatory approvals, and other customary development considerations.

Strategic Site Reserves in Core Metropolitan Areas

GoodVision and AI Storm have already secured and reserved more than fifty (50) potential sites across Tokyo and surrounding area, one of Japan’s most concentrated markets for enterprise, technology, research, and data center customers.

Locating AI factory capacity near these hubs reduces latency for inference workloads, positions the facilities close to the enterprise and research customers most likely to consume dedicated AI compute, and secures scarce, power-ready real estate ahead of intensifying competition for suitable sites. Securing available land and power resources in advance provides a meaningful first-mover advantage and de-risks the path to reaching the 100 MW target on schedule.

David Wang, CEO of GoodVision AI, said: “This partnership with AI Storm marks an important first step in scaling our AI Factory platform in Japan, one of our key strategic markets. The combination of high-density, liquid-cooled computing and a modular deployment model, positions us well to meet rising enterprise demand for dedicated AI inference capacity. We expect the Fukushima AI Factory to serve as a strategic foundation for future expansion in Japan and support the growth of recurring, infrastructure-based revenue over time.”

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — The Palestinian American whose home in the occupied West Bank has been besieged for more than a week confronted Israeli settlers Tuesday and demanded Israeli forces remove them from his property.

But on his first day back at his home in the village of Qusra, Loui Ridi was ultimately told to go inside because the area was a closed military zone.

Israeli soldiers asked the settlers to leave the area as well, but Ridi said he saw at least three settlers close enough to return and threaten his family if the army leaves.

“If I need to walk outside of my house, I’m not able. I have to get a permission and coordination and it’s going to take hours if it’s even possible to leave,” Ridi said.

Ridi yelled at one of the settlers to get off his property and pled with the soldiers to remove them, according to video he shared with The Associated Press. He told the settler that he wasn’t allowed to be there and called him a terrorist.

Soldiers told Ridi to get back inside his home, while also pleading with settlers to leave peacefully.

For Ridi, the exchange extinguished any sense of victory remaining after he managed, with the aid of a military escort, to enter his home on Monday. He said the encounter epitomized how the army has been unable or unwilling to clear the area of settlers.

“As soon as (Israeli soldiers) leave — like if they leave today — probably on the same day or a couple hours later, the settlers may come back and build the same tent in front of my house,” he said.

Some 2.8 million Palestinians live under Israeli military rule in the West Bank alongside 560,000 Israeli settlers who live in a growing number of communities and farming outposts across the territory. Emboldened by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government, extremist settlers have routinely attacked villages and set homes, cars and mosques ablaze in the occupied West Bank this year.

The international community largely considers Israeli settlements to be illegal and obstacles to peace.

Few episodes garner as much international attention as the siege in Qusra. However, settlers have staged takeovers of other Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank. In the neighboring village of Jalud, settlers surrounded a home last month and prevented Palestinians from entering or exiting until they decided to escape and not come back.

Palestinian officials report 87 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers or soldiers this year. Three Israelis have been killed including two in a nearby clash last month.

Much like in Qusra, violent settlers rarely face arrest by Israeli police or prosecution in Israeli courts.

Ridi, a 46-year-old who lives with his family in Ohio but has a second home in the Qusra, arrived on Monday, climbing his stairs and raising an American flag on his roof.

The United States — Israel’s closest ally — has condemned the ongoing siege in Qusra, now in its tenth day. President Donald Trump has said he opposes Israeli efforts to annex the West Bank but signaled broad acceptance of settlements and, at the start of his second term, lifted sanctions on settlers accused of violence.

Ridi said he can’t go out to buy groceries without permission and has asked U.S. officials to help guarantee he can bring supplies back to his home in the closed military zone on Qusra's outskirts.

Ridi said he slept for four hours in a room where he kept the shutters closed because settlers had previously thrown rocks toward the windows.

When he woke up Tuesday and went outside to confront the settlers and soldiers, one settler demanded in Hebrew that the soldiers make him go back inside, saying Ridi’s yard belonged to them.

“Take them to their home. You said it’s a closed military zone,” the settler told an Israeli soldier, according to Ridi’s video.

The soldiers told everyone to leave, saying, “We don’t need this commotion.”

Israel's military said Tuesday that the closed military zone had been cleared but did not answer questions about settlers' presence in and around the Palestinian village.

Soldiers have repeatedly dismantled their tents and shades in the area only to have the settlers return to area on the outskirts of a village 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the Palestinian city of Nablus.

One settler was detained last week but Israeli police have not reported any arrests. Ridi fears settlers could ramp up attacks on his home moments after Israeli soldiers leave, much like other areas where settlers have staged takeovers of Palestinian homes.

Ridi said his two daughters in Ohio have stayed up past their bedtimes worried for his safety, texting that they miss him and asking if he is all right.

“I have to lie and say, ‘No, I’m safe. I’m OK. It’s safe here,’ because I want her to sleep,” he said.
