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.

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.
