SoftBank Group Corp founder Masayoshi Son has proposed a $1 trillion industrial complex in Arizona, aiming to partner with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) and the incoming Trump administration. The ambitious project, codenamed “Project Crystal Land,” seeks to create a manufacturing hub rivaling China’s Shenzhen, focusing on AI-powered industrial robots and advanced chip production. Son envisions revitalizing US high-tech manufacturing, aligning with Trump’s economic goals. Discussions have included potential tax incentives with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and outreach to other tech giants like Samsung. The complex would bolster US AI infrastructure, following SoftBank’s $500 billion Stargate AI venture with OpenAI and Oracle. While TSMC’s involvement remains unconfirmed, Son’s bold vision builds on his prior $100 billion US investment pledge in December 2024, announced with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, targeting 100,000 jobs. However, SoftBank’s history of high-profile investment flops, like WeWork, raises questions about funding and execution. The proposal, reported by Bloomberg on June 20, 2025, underscores Son’s aggressive AI investment strategy amid global tech competition.
