Panel: Investing in Asia’s Hyperscale Market Mingtiandi APAC Data Centre Forum 2025

Asia added nearly 2.3 gigawatts of data centre capacity in the first half of 2025, according to Cushman & Wakefield, as digital infrastructure players in the region position themselves to profit from investment in generative AI which reached $33.9 billion globally last year, excluding public sector commitments.  

To find out more about the race to build the infrastructure for Asia’s AI boom, Mingtiandi is hosting a panel discussion 11 September, that will focus on the market for serving the region’s largest data centre customers. Featuring speakers from ESR, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, Yardi and Baker McKenzie, the programme will explore the impact of AI on demand in the region, and the challenges of developing scale in a region where power and water resources are often limited and regulatory regimes are evolving rapidly.  

Diarmid Massey, CEO of ESR’s data centre division is joining the panel after teaming up with US hyperscaler Stack Infrastructure to develop a 48 megawatt data centre in Incheon and a 72MW facility in Greater Osaka. ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, is also expanding rapidly in the region, having already launched a 70MW facility in Japan and having broken ground on the first phase of its 120MW Johor campus.
