Digital Realty to Expand AI Centre in Singapore

Singapore (ANTARA) - The US data centre company Digital Realty stated on Thursday that it plans to invest nearly S$7 billion (approximately US$5.49 billion) in Singapore, underscoring the city-state’s increasingly prominent role as a hub for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific. More than S$4.3 billion will be allocated to the development of new data centres, as a continuation of its current presence in the market, the company said in a statement. “Singapore is emerging as an important hub for AI inference in the Asia-Pacific,” said Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia-Pacific at Digital Realty. Digital Realty has also expanded its local workforce to more than 300 employees, nearly doubling in the last three years, and is expected to increase to around 400 by 2030. The company recently relocated its regional office in Singapore and plans further expansion next year.
