Digital Realty targets nearly $7b investment in Singapore’s AI infrastructure expansion

Planned data centre developments and workforce growth to support AI deployment.

Digital Realty sets a target of nearly $7b in total investment in Singapore, including more than $4.3b allocated for new data centre developments, the company announced in a press release.

The company said the investment will support expansion of its data centre capacity, operational capabilities, and innovation infrastructure in Singapore as demand for artificial intelligence (AI) workloads increases.

Digital Realty said it is positioning Singapore as a leading centre for AI inference workloads in Asia Pacific, citing demand for secure and low-latency infrastructure close to end users and data sources.

The company has also doubled its Singapore workforce over the past three years to more than 300 employees and expects to increase headcount to 400 by 2030. It also added that nearly 90% of its local workforce are Singapore nationals.

It also plans to launch a Digital Realty Innovation Lab (DRIL) at its Loyang facility in the second half of 2026 which will be used for testing and validation of AI and hybrid cloud solutions.

The company said it is also working with partners on early-stage quantum data centre initiatives and has engaged with local academic institutions, including the National University of Singapore’s Tembusu College, through industry outreach programmes.

Digital Realty said its PlatformDIGITAL® ecosystem supports connectivity across its data centre network to enable enterprise AI deployments.

The company did not provide a timeline for the full investment deployment.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
