Artificial intelligence (AI) workloads are putting new pressures on data centre designs and systems.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming a vital business tool that is transforming organisations across industries, from healthcare and finance to manufacturing and mobility. This transformation has been especially pronounced in Asia Pacific, with research indicating that countries such as Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea are outpacing most North American and European markets in enterprise AI adoption.

Indonesia’s digital economy is accelerating, and organisations across all sectors, including regulated industries like banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), are under increasing pressure to modernise their IT infrastructure.

In 2025, we expanded access to AI-ready capacity, high-performance cooling and more sustainable solutions across our global platform – strengthening the foundation for organisations building and scaling digital services. Here’s how these developments translate into value for your business.

Strategically located within the Greenland International Industrial Centre (GIIC), STT Jakarta 3 is part of the STT Jakarta Data Centre Campus and contributes to its planned capacity of over 250MW, supporting Indonesia’s growing digital economy.

Southeast Asia stands at a pivotal crossroads: to be architects of its digital future or outsource the development of its digital backbone. The answer lies not in the mere pace or scale of data centre growth, but in how deeply these investments are integrated into national competitiveness strategies.

STT Jakarta 2 is the second data centre facility in Indonesia and is part of the STT Jakarta Data Centre Campus, strategically located within the Greenland International Industrial Centre (GIIC). As part of a campus designed to deliver more than 108 megawatts of IT capacity, STT Jakarta 2 will contribute to the growth of Indonesia’s digital transformation.

The Asia-Pacific region is at the epicentre of global digital transformation. The rapid adoption of cloud technologies, the exponential growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and the emergence of sovereign digital infrastructure are reshaping societies and economies. At the core of this transformation are data centres – strategic assets enabling innovation, economic growth and resilience.

STT Jakarta 1 is built to the highest industry standards to enable the burgeoning digital economy growth in Indonesia and the region with a future scale within the campus.

In this PodChats for FutureCOO episode, Daniel Pointon, Group CTO at STT GDC, discusses how enterprises can prepare for 2026 by balancing AI-driven growth with sustainability and regulatory alignment. 

Artificial intelligence (AI) has moved rapidly from a conceptual technology to a transformative force of industries, reshaping business models and digital infrastructure.  As AI models become more sophisticated, the demand for computational power continues to surge, driving hyperscalers and enterprises alike to seek new solutions for data centre design and operations.

Data centres have become the cornerstone of the digital economy, underpinning the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). As AI workloads intensify, so too does the debate around sustainability and energy efficiency. Today’s largest data centres can consume over 100 MW — enough to power 80,000 homes — making the quest for sustainable operations more urgent than ever.
