What Empyrion Digital does

Empyrion Digital is a Singapore-headquartered data centre developer and operator that builds and manages carrier-neutral, green-by-design facilities across six Asia-Pacific markets: Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Malaysia. The company was founded in 2021 as a portfolio company of private equity firm Seraya Partners (USD 2.5 billion AUM), launched operations via the 12.5MW SG1 Dodid site in Singapore, and added the 40MW KR1 Gangnam data centre in Seoul (operational since August 2025) as its second live asset, with four additional sites under development (TW1 Taipei, TH1 Bangkok, JP1 Tokyo, and the 200+MW MY1 Johor hyperscale campus) representing a pipeline exceeding 265MW.

The platform is engineered for AI and high-performance computing workloads through dual-mode liquid and air cooling, the StatePoint liquid cooling technology (partnered with Nortek Data Center Cooling), AI-powered building management systems for real-time PUE optimization, and district cooling integration. Facilities target sub-1.20 PUE in Singapore and sub-1.30 PUE at MY1 Johor, supported by a certification stack spanning BCA Green Mark Platinum, Uptime Institute Tier III, ISO 27001/22301/50001, LEED, and Taiwan Green Building Gold. Connectivity is anchored by carrier-neutral partnerships with SPTel, Sejong Telecom, CypressTel/DataShell, and TCC Technology, including SPTel's quantum-safe network in Singapore.

Empyrion sells colocation, custom build, disaster recovery, remote hands, and AI/HPC-ready capacity to hyperscale cloud providers, large enterprises, financial institutions, defense and security organizations, network operators, and AI/technology companies via direct enterprise field sales with multi-year, quote-based contracts. Go-to-market is direct B2B across six APAC geographies, supported by a senior leadership team with 20+ years each in digital infrastructure, real estate finance, design and construction, and operations. The business is currently in a capital-intensive build phase, funded by a S$133 million green loan and an April 2026 S$1.1 billion corporate investment from Seraya Partners.

Direct peers

• AirTrunk: Asia-Pacific hyperscale data center operator founded by Macquarie with >1.5 GW of capacity across Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur. Direct competitor for the same hyperscale and enterprise customers seeking large-scale AI-ready colocation with liquid cooling across APAC markets where Empyrion operates.
• ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC): Singapore-headquartered data center operator with major presence in Singapore, Thailand, India, UK, and China. Directly competes with Empyrion in the Singapore flagship hub market and across Southeast Asia, offering colocation and interconnections services to enterprise and cloud customers.
• GDS Holdings: China's largest carrier-neutral data center operator focused on hyperscale customers with significant capacity across Tier 1 markets. Operates a comparable carrier-neutral, AI-ready colocation model targeting the same hyperscaler customer base Empyrion serves across the broader APAC region.
• Princeton Digital Group: Singapore-headquartered hyperscale data center operator backed by Asia-focused investors, operating across China, Singapore, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Japan. Directly competes for the same hyperscale/AI workload customers with comparable carrier-neutral, sustainable, AI-ready positioning across APAC.

Broad incumbents

• NTT Global Data Centers: NTT operates one of the world's largest data center footprints with strong presence across Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India and other APAC markets. A broad incumbent competing in the same enterprise and hyperscale colocation space, though with a much wider portfolio beyond data centers.
• Equinix: Global colocation and interconnection leader with significant APAC footprint (including Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Sydney). Although Equinix focuses on interconnection-heavy enterprise retail colocation rather than hyperscale, it remains the closest global benchmark for Asia-Pacific colocation quality and pricing.
• Digital Realty: Largest global data center operator with substantial APAC presence including Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Hong Kong, Sydney and Melbourne. Competes in the same hyperscale and enterprise colocation markets, though at a much larger global scale.

Emerging players

• DayOne Data Centers: Asia-Pacific hyperscale data center platform recently carved out from GDS with operations across Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Direct competitor for hyperscaler tenants seeking new sustainable AI-ready capacity in the same Southeast Asian markets.
• EDGE DC (AIMS Group / EdgeConneX Asia): EDGE DC in Malaysia is a hyperscale data center operator focusing on the Southeast Asian market, with capacity in Cyberjaya and Johor. Closely comparable to Empyrion's MY1 Johor play and targeting the same hyperscaler and AI workload customers seeking sustainable, scalable capacity.

Regional players

• YTL Data Center Holdings: Malaysian-listed data center operator with hyperscale campuses in Johor and powered by YTL Power. Direct competitor in the Johor/Singapore cross-border colocation market and one of the most credible incumbent alternatives for hyperscalers seeking Malaysia capacity.
