Bringing AI-Ready, Sustainable Digital Infrastructure Closer to You

In 2025, we expanded access to AI-ready capacity, high-performance cooling and more sustainable solutions across our global platform – strengthening the foundation for organisations building and scaling digital services. Here’s how these developments translate into value for your business. 

Scaling Capacity Where You Need It

Across Asia and Europe, we added new capacity in locations where customers are accelerating AI deployment and data-intensive workloads.​​

• In Japan, the launch of our inaugural STT Tokyo 1 facility marked our move into one of Asia’s most advanced digital economies, delivering carrier-neutral, high-density colocation in a purpose-built environment. 

• In India, partnerships and upcoming developments across Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Telangana, Pune and Kolkata are shaping a new generation of AI-ready data centre campuses. These are designed to support high-density racks and advanced cooling, enabling hyperscale and enterprise customers to deploy future clusters at scale.​​

• Growth continued across Southeast Asia. New builds in Jakarta, Johor and Bangkok are underway to strengthen access to regional hubs engineered for performance, resilience and efficiency from day one.​​

• In Europe, our new VIRTUS facility in Milan will add high-performance capacity in one of Europe’s key digital territories.

Together, these locations plug into a broader global platform that offers consistent options, strong performance and the flexibility to grow where your business needs to be next.

Making AI Infrastructure Deployment Faster and More Assured

Organisations are moving from early pilots to full-scale AI production. As models and clusters grow more complex, infrastructure risk increases. This year, we launched several initiatives designed to help customers scale their AI workloads with speed and confidence.

• AI-ready environments: Facilities across Southeast Asia now support higher-density racks and advanced cooling technologies such as immersion and direct-to-chip solutions, powering training and inference workloads while maintaining peak efficiency.​​

• Certified for AI deployment: STT GDC is an NVIDIA Colocation Partner with NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Centre certifications for STT Singapore 6 and STT Bangkok 1 – the first in STT GDC’s portfolio to be certified. These environments are optimised for DGX-based clusters and other accelerated computing platforms, streamlining deployment for advanced AI workloads.​​

• Bringing innovation to the markets: Across markets, spaces such as our Pune Innovation Lab, AI Synergy Lab – the Philippines’ first liquid cooling showroom, and direct-to-chip liquid cooling showcase in Thailand offer customers visibility into high-density architecture and advanced cooling approaches as they shape their deployment strategies.

Collectively, these capabilities are aimed at reducing time-to-value for AI initiatives, allowing businesses to focus on models and applications instead of digital infrastructure constraints.​​

Partnering on Strategy, Not Just Space

Infrastructure decisions are increasingly intertwined with policy, skills and governance. Throughout 2025, our focus extended beyond data halls to cross-sector forums that help leaders align strategy, risk and execution.​​

• Practical Insights, our multi-country series across Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Japan, brought together government, industry and academia to discuss how to turn AI ambition into measurable outcomes.​​

• As a Knowledge Partner to the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS) and SGTech (Data Centre Chapter), we contributed to a joint Position Paper outlining key challenges and strategic recommendations to accelerate adoption of green energy for data centres in Singapore.​​

For customers, these collaborations aim to provide clearer guidance on topics ranging from AI infrastructure roadmaps to sustainable power procurement.​​

Progressing Towards Greener, Safer and More Efficient Operations

As digital workloads intensify, efficiency and environmental performance matter more than ever to both operators and customers. Our ESG roadmap remains anchored on achieving carbon-neutral data centre operations by 2030, supported by annual reporting and clear performance indicators.​​

• In 2025, operational facilities in the Philippines transitioned to 100% renewable energy, complementing broader progress across the group where renewable energy usage and efficiency metrics have continued to improve.​​ This includes achieving 78.5% renewable energy usage, a 66.2% reduction in carbon intensity (vs. 2021) and an 11.2% improvement in power usage effectiveness (PUE) (vs. 2020). 

• A growing proportion of our facilities – over 51% – are certified as green data centres under national and international schemes. Notably, safety performance strengthened, achieving a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.1 even as total manhours increased by 54.7% year-on-year.​​

These outcomes help customers meet their sustainability commitments by allowing them to run energy-intensive workloads on infrastructure that is efficient, reliable and increasingly green.​​

Investing in People and Long-Term Resilience

Delivering consistently across markets requires a strong, cohesive culture and deep technical capability. This year, we earned Great Place to Work® certification across six countries – Singapore, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia – alongside recognition in the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work™ For in Southeast Asia list, reflecting a continued focus on fostering trust and development. 

Through partnerships with the Johor Talent Development Council (JTDC), Enterprise Products Integration (EPI) and NUS Centre for Future-Ready Graduates, we are developing specialised data centre skills for tomorrow’s workforce, strengthening the talent ecosystem for customers and partners alike.​​

Looking Ahead to 2026

The next chapter calls for infrastructure that is faster, greener and built for AI at scale. With new capacity coming online, our upcoming facilities in the Philippines, South Korea and Indonesia will deliver environments engineered for performance and long-term resilience – empowering you to innovate and deploy with confidence, wherever your business grows.
