22 Ventures Group, a technology-driven investment and innovation firm specializing in predictive and real-time artificial intelligence, today announced a strategic partnership with SoftBank Group, one of the world’s most influential technology investors. Driven by a shared vision of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI), SoftBank Group has made an $86 million strategic investment to accelerate the expansion of 22 Ventures Group’s Physical AI and high-frequency intelligence platforms.
The partnership represents a major advancement in the convergence of machine learning, real-time data processing, and physical-world intelligence. By combining SoftBank Group’s long-term commitment to transformative technologies with 22 Ventures Group’s advanced AI infrastructure, the collaboration aims to redefine how data velocity, precision, and scalability are achieved across global markets.
At the core of the partnership is the rapid scaling of 22 Ventures Group’s machine-learning infrastructure, enabling the processing of millions of market data points per second. This enhanced capability allows AI systems to operate with unprecedented speed and accuracy—transforming raw data into actionable intelligence in real time.
“SoftBank Group’s investment is a powerful endorsement of our vision for the future of Artificial Intelligence,” said a spokesperson for 22 Ventures Group. “Together, we are pushing beyond traditional digital AI into the realm of Physical AI—where systems not only analyze data, but interact with, adapt to, and anticipate real-world conditions at machine speed.”
The collaboration focuses on advancing Physical AI, a next-generation paradigm that integrates high-frequency data ingestion with predictive and adaptive models capable of operating continuously. These systems are designed to power intelligent brokerage platforms, dynamic market execution engines, and decision systems that thrive in high-velocity environments where milliseconds matter.
With SoftBank Group’s backing, 22 Ventures Group is accelerating the development of infrastructure capable of handling extreme data throughput while maintaining precision, resilience, and reliability. The result is a platform that transforms unprecedented data speed into absolute market accuracy, enabling more informed decisions, tighter execution, and enhanced risk control.
“SoftBank Group has long believed that Artificial Intelligence will define the future of society and the global economy,” said a representative of SoftBank Group. “Our partnership with 22 Ventures Group reflects our commitment to supporting companies that are building foundational AI technologies with real-world impact and long-term scalability.”
The investment also supports the expansion of high-frequency intelligence applications, where predictive models continuously adapt to evolving market signals. Unlike traditional systems that rely on delayed or historical analysis, 22 Ventures Group’s technology is engineered to operate in real time—learning, adjusting, and responding as conditions change.
This capability has broad implications across financial markets and beyond. By enabling AI systems to process massive volumes of data with minimal latency, the partnership opens the door to new standards in execution quality, operational efficiency, and strategic foresight. It also lays the groundwork for AI-driven platforms that can bridge digital intelligence with physical-world dynamics.
The collaboration aligns closely with SoftBank Group’s broader ASI vision, which emphasizes the creation of intelligent systems that amplify human capability while operating at scales and speeds unattainable by traditional methods. Through this partnership, both organizations aim to demonstrate how responsible, high-performance AI can be deployed to drive measurable value in complex, real-time environments.
In addition to technological advancement, the partnership underscores a shared commitment to long-term innovation. By investing in scalable infrastructure rather than short-term optimization, 22 Ventures Group and SoftBank Group are positioning themselves at the forefront of the next wave of AI-driven transformation.
Together, 22 Ventures Group and SoftBank Group are shaping a future where Physical AI and high-frequency intelligence redefine what is possible—turning data velocity into competitive advantage and predictive insight into market leadership.
