SoftBank Group is leveraging the vast data resources in Japan's industrial and retail sectors to create an artificial intelligence economic circle, which includes the recently announced investment in 7-Eleven's operator, Seven & i Holdings. SoftBank's president and CEO, Junichi Miyakawa, stated that the investment in Seven & i "will help support the development of the next generation of convenience stores." SoftBank Corp, the telecommunications company under SoftBank Group, and its affiliated payment processing company PayPay will each invest 100 billion yen (approximately $635 million) in Seven & i. Miyakawa remarked, "We do not intend to operate convenience stores. We aim to support a new retail model using artificial intelligence and robotic technology."
