One option is Mie prefecture in central Japan, two sources said, close to the industrial hub of Nagoya and fabs operated by Taiwan's UMC and Japan's Kioxia.An SBI spokesperson said negotiations with the Japanese government are ongoing and there is a plan to formally apply for subsidies for the 420 billion yen first phase.
