Singapore, transcending its geographical constraints through interconnection with the surrounding region, stands at the forefront of innovation in the global data center landscape. In a story that weaves necessity into invention, this vibrant city-state, with its modest size and resources, has become a powerhouse with a data center capacity exceeding 600 MW.
Singapore is positioned as a key hub of business and connectivity in the global data center arena. Social stability, transparency, and consistently high business rankings have crafted a sought-after ecosystem. Singapore's connection with Malaysia, (particularly Johor Bahru), as well as the Riau Islands (particularly Batam) create a strong group of trade, transportation, and digital infrastructure opportunities that will benefit all three nations significantly. This strategic partnership, dubbed "SIJORI", will be extensively covered in a week of activities titled SIJORI week, including the Singapore Cloud and Datacenter Convention.
The data center narrative is evolving, and the future promises denser, better-connected, and more automated facilities, heavily reliant on renewable energy sources and specialised skill sets. The question looms: How will Singapore and the SIJORI region navigate this imminent wave of change while preserving their premium status on a global scale?
Join us at W.Media 2024 Singapore Cloud and Datacenter Convention and an entire week of activities, where the focus extends beyond Singapore's shores to encompass the SIJORI region and will include participations from thousands of international delegates, speakers, and VIPs from across the globe. Discover the strategies, innovations, and collaborations that will shape the future of data centers. The future is now—green, connected, and filled with possibilities.
The SIJORI Growth Triangle, encompassing Singapore, Johor (Malaysia), and the Riau Islands (Indonesia), presents a dynamic landscape for the development of hyperscale data centers, driven by its strategic geographical location, robust infrastructure, and burgeoning digital economy in the region. This session explores the burgeoning opportunities and inherent challenges associated with establishing and operating hyperscale data centers within this tri-regional area. It highlights how the unique economic, political, and technological synergies of SIJORI can facilitate the rapid growth of data center infrastructure, catering to the escalating demand for AI, cloud services, big data analytics, and content delivery networks in Southeast Asia and beyond.
The rapid evolution of digital technologies is a cornerstone for national development in the ASEAN region, offering unprecedented opportunities for economic growth, societal advancement, and regional integration. This session explores the synergistic potential of three pivotal technologies—Connectivity, Data Centers, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)—in empowering the digital future of ASEAN countries.

Find out how enterprises can leverage on AIaaS and the roadmap they can build to ensure adoption success.
With the proliferation of AI and Robotics, data center operations can no longer afford to be oblivious but move ahead from conventional practices.
With 20+ years of data center controls system experience, Chang, CEO of Onion Technology, will share with us his ideas on how to prepare and adopt AI and Robotics deployment in data centers to increase operational efficiency.
This topic delves into crucial learnings from notable data center outages, focusing on actionable strategies to bolster data center resiliency and reliability. It emphasizes the need for a proactive approach to risk management, highlighting the importance of identifying potential vulnerabilities and implementing robust preventive measures. The discussion will cover advanced design principles, redundancy systems, and the integration of cutting-edge monitoring technologies to predict and mitigate risks effectively.
Key questions that will be addressed in this panel
This presentation focuses on the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing energy management and automation for sustainable outcomes. It will explore how AI technologies are being leveraged to optimize energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and facilitate the transition towards renewable energy sources.
Digital infrastructure in smart manufacturing not only enhances efficiency and productivity but also supports sustainable practices by optimizing resource use and reducing waste. It is an essential component of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), enabling manufacturers to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. However, integrating new digital technologies with existing manufacturing systems and processes can be complex. Many facilities operate with legacy systems that are not initially designed to communicate with modern IoT devices or software, creating compatibility issues. The session explores the challenges and solutions n detail.
AI technology requires an enormous amount of energy to develop and run. And that’s where utilities come in. Artificial intelligence is poised to help drive a massive jump in power demand from data centers. Singapore is not ruling out the use of nuclear energy to cut emissions from its power sector while safeguarding the nation’s energy security. Elsewhere, soaring electricity demand is slowing the closure of coal plants. An increasing number of data centers are now being forced to consider locations they had initially overlooked to secure renewable energy within the timeframe they need. Hear how industry experts discuss these current and future issues.
The data center M&A outlook for 2024 is marked by optimism, driven by technological advancements, global expansion, and a focus on sustainability, all underpinned by a broader recovery in the M&A market. However, this optimism may not be shared by everyone. In some regions, the data center market might be approaching saturation, which can limit growth opportunities and put pressure on pricing and profitability. This saturation could make it harder to find attractive acquisition targets without entering into competitive bidding wars, which could drive up acquisition costs. Hyperscalers are increasingly becoming competitors by building and owning their own data centers. It’s never a good position for a landlord to have its biggest tenants also be competitors. Even where hyperscalers remain in a co-location data center, the threat of building their own facilities provides leverage to negotiate better terms. These better terms usually mean shorter duration leases signed, and less net rent to the data center landlord.
