Nikkei reports NVIDIA is considering a partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to supply cooling systems and energy-management equipment for next-generation AI data centres, which NVIDIA calls "AI factories". Mitsubishi Heavy manufactures data-centre air conditioning, high-efficiency cooling and backup power equipment and provides integrated energy-management systems; it also holds a global-leading share in gas turbines and is expected to pursue collaboration with NVIDIA on power infrastructure. SK Group is working with NVIDIA on a Japan AI factory targeted for 2028-29. As AI data-centre power demand climbs, markets including the US are increasingly deploying gas-fired power plants to supply data centres.

Several Japanese civic groups on July 14 issued a joint statement opposing government moves to develop nuclear-powered submarines, saying the plan would contradict Japan’s long-standing support for nuclear disarmament and the Atomic Energy Basic Law’s restriction of nuclear energy to peaceful uses. NGO Peace Boat criticized proposals from the ruling party and a government expert panel as a dangerous shift, saying nuclear-powered submarines enable long-range submerged operations and strike capability and would depart from Japan’s postwar exclusive defense (senshu bōei) policy.
