Jeff Bezos has initiated preliminary talks to establish a $100 billion fund aimed at investing in the acquisition of industrial enterprises and implementing artificial intelligence technologies to accelerate the automation of manufacturing processes.
The Amazon.com founder is meeting with major asset managers around the world to attract financing for this initiative. According to investment documents, the fund is described as a tool for transforming industry, targeting companies across various sectors, including microchip manufacturing, defense, and aerospace. The fund’s size is comparable to SoftBank’s $100 billion Vision Fund and surpasses the scale of many of the world’s largest buyout funds.
Recently, Bezos was appointed co-CEO of the startup Project Prometheus, which develops artificial intelligence models for analyzing and simulating physical processes. Separately, Project Prometheus is negotiating to raise up to $6 billion in funding.
