7月22日下午，阿里云总裁胡晓明受邀在2016年软银世界大会上发表主题演讲并接受本地媒体采访。他表示，阿里云位于日本的数据中心将于今年第四季度启用，联手软银共同拓展日本市场，目标是成为日本本地市场上最大的云服务商。
今年5月，阿里巴巴和软银宣布在日本成立云计算合资公司，携手拓展日本云计算市场。分工上，阿里云聚焦技术和产品层面，软银应用自己在日本的广泛客户资源在本地市场上以“Alibaba Cloud”为品牌推广云计算大数据服务。
胡晓明表示，“阿里云的技术能力，加上软银的渠道能力，我们希望整合双方的最大能力，共同拓展日本市场，目标是成为本地市场上最大的云服务商。”
在大会上主推人工智能的软银集团总裁宫内谦也表示，云计算和网络安全是人工智能的基础，软银和阿里巴巴成立的合资公司，将为日本市场提供最先进的云计算服务。
相对于其他亚洲市场，日本的云计算产业环境最为成熟，在BSA国际软件联盟对全球各个主要云计算市场的打分中，日本从2012年开始就名列第一，超越AWS和Azure的大本营美国。
进入日本市场的阿里云将面对来自亚马逊AWS、微软Azure的竞争，胡晓明在接受采访时也表示，日本市场上已有成熟的服务商，但阿里云联合软银拓展市场，将为用户提供更完善的服务。
