SKxTECH: Leading the Future in Infrastructure Development
On May 26, 2025, SKxTECH announced its ambitious growth strategy to penetrate the rapidly expanding markets of energy storage systems and data center construction. Leveraging its established expertise in telecom infrastructure construction, the company aims to solidify its financial foundation through strategic fundraising and enhance its operational scalability.
Founded in June 2023 as a successor to SKT’s telecom construction division in Niigata City, SKxTECH has rapidly emerged as a dynamic startup, focusing on in-depth ground surveys, design participation, and comprehensive project management for high-difficulty telecom construction projects, including tough terrains like landslides and remote islands.
The evolution towards energy transition and digital infrastructure represents both a challenge and a significant opportunity. With over 1,000 foundation constructions completed for outdoor base stations across Japan for carriers like au (KDDI), SoftBank, and Rakuten Mobile, SKxTECH has developed a profound understanding of various ground conditions and field responsiveness.
This project highlights the firm’s commitment to supporting the foundational stability of next-generation infrastructure, such as large-scale energy storage systems and data centers. Under the slogan of “Gathering Technologies. Building the Future of Communications and Infrastructure,” SKxTECH aspires to contribute to Japan’s carbon neutrality goals and the realization of a richer digital society. Strengthening its financial base is crucial for ensuring the success of this growth.
The energy storage market is predicted to reach 8 trillion yen by 2030, marking a period of exceptional growth. SKxTECH aims to capture this wave with specialized foundation construction methods like rotational insertion steel pipe piles to meet market demands effectively.
The company is well-prepared to accelerate its entry into this burgeoning market by leveraging strong collaborations with existing major construction consultants and leading telecom engineering firms across Japan.
