What ST Telemedia Global Data Centres does

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) is a Singapore-headquartered data center colocation provider operating more than 100 facilities across 12 markets in Asia Pacific, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe, with 2.3 GW of design IT load capacity and a development pipeline exceeding 1.7 GW. Founded in 2014 under Temasek-owned ST Telemedia, the company serves hyperscale cloud providers (including NVIDIA Cloud Service Providers), large enterprises across BFSI, healthcare, manufacturing, and government, sovereign AI initiatives, and regional telcos through three core service lines — Colocation, Connectivity, and 24/7 Support Services — on multi-year subscription contracts with custom quote-based pricing.

The company's technical platform has been purpose-built for AI-era workloads: high-density power delivery (10-150+ kW per rack), immersion and direct-to-chip liquid cooling (achieving PUE as low as 1.1), NVIDIA Blackwell GPU integration, and proprietary AI Innovation Centres in Singapore and the Philippines offering 14-day free trial pilots for enterprise AI workloads. Sustainability is a structural differentiator with 78%+ renewable energy usage globally, HVO renewable backup generator fuel (first in Singapore), HVDC-powered AI infrastructure (FutureGrid Accelerator testbed), and LEED/Green Mark Platinum design philosophy — complemented by ESG-linked green financing structures (US$500M dual-currency facility in Indonesia, ESG-linked cash account with Standard Chartered Singapore).

STT GDC generates revenue primarily through recurring colocation and connectivity contracts across its 12-market footprint, augmented by managed services, AI Innovation Centre trials converting to production deployments, and ESG-linked financing structures. The company has secured high-profile anchor deployments including UrsaCompute's US$300M sovereign AI compute infrastructure in India and partnerships with Tata Communications (26% India JV), Hyosung Heavy Industries (60/40 Korea JV), Triputra Group (Indonesia), and Globe Telecom/Ayala (Philippines). In February 2026, a KKR-led consortium with Singtel signed definitive agreements to acquire the remaining 82% stake from ST Telemedia for S$6.6 billion (~US$5.1 billion) at a S$13.8 billion enterprise value — the largest M&A deal in Singapore in four years — with sovereign wealth funds GIC and Mubadala joining as minority co-investors, and KKR/Singtel set to hold 75%/25% upon closing expected in early H2 2026.
