AsiaPhos, China Mobile to build strategic AI and Data Centre partnerships in Southeast Asia

They target Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore data growth.

AsiaPhos Limited signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with China Mobile International Limited (CMI) on 9 February 2026, to explore opportunities in data centres and artificial intelligence (AI) computing services in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Under the terms of the LOI, CMI will introduce potential customers to AsiaPhos for data centre and AI projects, a press release said.

Should these introductions result in business, AsiaPhos will grant CMI priority for design, fit-out works, and the procurement of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment.

The company stated that the partnership does not affect the proposed acquisition of Exquisite Mode Sdn Bhd, which was the subject of several announcements between September and December 2025.

The LOI may be terminated by either party with prior notice. AsiaPhos informed shareholders that the agreement provides no certainty of future transactions.

A copy of the LOI will be available for inspection at the company’s registered office at Keppel Bay Tower for three months, the press release noted.

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.
