Canada has been part of @Microsoft's story for more than 40 years. Today we're sharing how we're putting our $19B commitment to work, with a Community-First approach built around what Canadians care about most: energy, water, jobs, and local impact. aka.ms/CommunityFirst…

Today, @Microsoft announced that we will spend $10 billion to support Japan’s AI transformation by the end of 2029. Japan has been clear that it needs the world's best technology, grounded in trust, and a workforce skilled to put it to use across Japan's economy. This partnership is our commitment to deliver on all three. @takaichi_sanae news.microsoft.com/source/asia/20…

Thailand shows how governments can use AI responsibly to create massive efficiencies. In its application process to the @OECD, the country used AI to condense a massive legal review from years to months, while keeping accountability and human judgment firmly in place. Thailand has done something that the OECD has recognized as a first and an inspirational example for the world. @Microsoft @MicrosoftTH youtu.be/UmgVuWl3GJY

Today, @Microsoft announced our plan to invest $5.5 billion through 2029 to help accelerate Singapore’s AI transformation. This investment will expand our cloud and AI infrastructure and grow our Microsoft Elevate programs, including free Microsoft 365 Copilot for 200,000+ students and new Microsoft AI Skills training programs for educators and nonprofits. @MicrosoftSkills news.microsoft.com/source/asia/20…

I had the chance to learn alongside @Microsoft Student Ambassadors in Singapore today. Conversations like these are a powerful reminder that the most important insights about AI don’t just come to students, they come from them. Together with the Minister for Education, Dr. Janil Puthucheary, we announced free Microsoft 365 Copilot for more than 200,000 students across Singapore’s universities and colleges. This is the generation that will put AI to work — and help define how it’s used.

It’s always great to be back in Singapore!

In a time when AI is reshaping jobs and raising real concerns, I appreciated this timely conversation with my friend and colleague Ryan Roslansky, CEO of @LinkedIn and EVP at @Microsoft. On the latest episode of #ToolsAndWeapons, we discuss his new book, Open to Work, and why rethinking jobs as tasks and skills as currency can offer a thoughtful path forward. #OpenToWorkBook

Few places tell Bangkok’s story as clearly as the Chao Phraya River. For centuries, the “River of Kings” has defined cities, trade, and civic life. It connected this country to the world by carrying goods, people, and ideas that opened the kingdom to the world. Today, this iconic river still supports Bangkok’s economy and industrial heartland. As Thailand looks to the future, it serves as a good reminder that progress is strongest when it builds on enduring traditions and values. @Microsoft @MicrosoftTH

Today in Bangkok, alongside Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, @Microsoft announced a $1 billion investment in cloud and AI infrastructure for Thailand. We’re also complementing this investment through a Ministry of Labour partnership to skill 150,000 workers. We’re proud to support Thailand’s vision to drive prosperity and economic development. @MicrosoftTH news.microsoft.com/source/asia/20…

Great to stand alongside @USTDA, @acommerceasia, and AI-ssistance today to announce a $1 million grant to combine the world’s most advanced, trusted, and secure AI technology with Thai ambition. @USEmbassyBKK @Microsoft @MicrosoftTH

Thank you for the warm welcome, @MicrosoftTH Thailand! Thanks for hosting me in @Microsoft's beautiful new space.

Every salmon knows when it’s time to run. From the Eastside to @TMobilePark, the @Microsoft sponsored Salmon Runners are taking @SoundTransit light rail across Lake Washington. Ride in, catch the @Mariners game, and see who wins the Salmon Run.

Today marks an important moment for the Greater Seattle region. For the first time, light rail will officially connect Seattle and the Eastside across Lake Washington. @Microsoft is proud to have played a role in this milestone. This didn't happen overnight, and it didn't happen because of any single organization or leader. It happened because businesses, civic leaders, elected officials, labor, and community advocates spent more than two decades aligned around a shared belief: that a thriving region requires infrastructure built for everyone. @SoundTransit

The people who work closest to community challenges should help create the technology solutions to address them. @Microsoft Elevate for Changemakers will equip nonprofit leaders with the tools, training, and support they need to advance their missions. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/… #MicrosoftElevate @MicrosoftSkills

Thank you, First Lady Melania Trump, for convening the Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit to expand access to AI education. @Microsoft is offering free AI tools, @LinkedIn Learning certifications, and educator grants to put these new tools in the hands of college students and educators in every state.
