继大型银行贷款承诺后，京瓷、富士胶片控股以及本田、富士通、佳能等公司正考虑向Rapidus注资，以支持其2027年半导体量产目标，目标到2026年3月新增1300亿日元私人投资。
继日本三大巨型银行最近宣布提供最高2万亿日元贷款，以及此前MUFG银行、丰田、索尼和软银等公司合计730亿日元的股权投资之后，更多日本公司正准备加强Rapidus的支持。
据消息人士透露，京瓷、富士胶片控股、本田汽车、富士通和佳能等公司正在考虑出资入股。其他潜在参与者包括向Rapidus北海道工厂供应材料的纳加塞公司，以及半导体软件开发商Argo Graphics。
三大巨型银行——三菱UFJ银行、三井住友银行和瑞穗银行——连同日本开发银行计划提供最高250亿日元的新投资。北海银行和肥后银行等地区银行也在考虑参与。
日本政府已承诺约1.7万亿日元，包括上个月的1000亿日元，以通过Rapidus在北海道的业务激发私人资金，并提升国家半导体竞争力。
