Alibaba Cloud marks 10 years in SG with AI and infra boost

The company launched its first AI Global Competency Centre in Singapore.

Alibaba Cloud has unveiled new infrastructure investments, an artificial intelligence competency centre, advanced cloud and AI technologies, and research findings on green AI adoption to mark its 10th anniversary in Singapore.

The group launched its third data centre in Malaysia on 1 July, with plans to open its second data centre in the Philippines in October this year.

The expansions build on earlier infrastructure investments in Thailand, Mexico, and South Korea, announced in the first half of 2025.

The company also launched its first AI Global Competency Centre in Singapore, aiming to accelerate AI adoption by supporting enterprises of all sizes.

The centre will support over 5,000 businesses and 100,000 developers, offering access to advanced AI models, powerful computing resources, and an AI Innovation Lab.

Moreover, new cloud products include Infrastructure as a Service and Platform as a Service products and a new "One Channel For AI" capability to streamline multimodal data preparation.

Alibaba Cloud’s sustainability platform, Energy Expert, also introduced an AI-driven ESG Reporting solution that streamlines report generation through guided structuring, automated content creation, and actionable insights.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
