RUTILEA, a portfolio company of Abies Ventures, announced it has begun discussions with Tohoku Electric Power, Hitachi, Ltd., and the Development Bank of Japan to build a next-generation AI data center. This was also featured in the media outlet “ZDNet Japan.”

The article highlights the following points:

• – The collaboration between four companies: RUTILEA, which possesses AI/GPU cloud infrastructure; Tohoku Electric Power, leveraging its strengths in regional power and communications infrastructure; Hitachi, Ltd., responsible for IT/infrastructure construction; and the Development Bank of Japan, handling finance and investment.
• – The vision to build a “regional data center” model that simultaneously achieves decarbonization (GX) and industrial revitalization (DX) in response to rapidly growing AI infrastructure demand both domestically and internationally.
• – RUTILEA leveraging its operational experience with data centers in Fukushima to lead the design of AI workload optimization.

This coverage demonstrates that RUTILEA is not merely an AI startup, but is taking a significant step toward the “social implementation of AI infrastructure” from the perspectives of region, infrastructure, and industry.
