It’s one of a slew of data centre operators expanding in markets from India to South-east Asia, tapping rising demand from AI developers. </p><p>“Singapore is the primary focus of this initiative,” Mr Fan said. “We will also recruit technical and R&amp;D talent to support AI-related facilities and innovation.”</p><p>A global race to build AI infrastructure is fuelling an unprecedented boom in data centres, as tech giants and investors pour hundreds of billions of dollars into facilities packed with advanced chips and cooling systems. Yet the pace of construction has also sparked concerns that the investments could fail to deliver enough real economic returns to justify the enormous expense.</p><p>Among BDC’s initiatives is Singapore’s first floating hydrogen power generation solution, which it’s developing with Concord New Energy.
