Tier 1 APAC markets, including Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore, continue to be crucial hubs for digital infrastructure investment. As these markets mature, they face unique challenges related to sustaining growth, managing cross-border dynamics, and adapting regulatory frameworks to the demands of AI and hyperscale development. This roundtable will assess the current investment landscape and uncover best practices in M&A and investment policies that can be leveraged across the wider APAC region.

  • How are operators and investors capitalizing on the core opportunities across Malaysia, South Korea, and Japan to meet accelerating demand?
  • Examining the latest dynamics between Singapore and Johor, and how Singapore’s sustainability and efficiency restrictions limit its growth potential
  • Analysing how Tier 1 markets are creating investment and M&A policies to support rapid digital infrastructure expansion
  • What is required from the APAC data center community to adopt successful Tier 1 investment and M&A policies and stay ahead of global investment trends?
