Overview

Digital Edge is a Singapore-headquartered Asia-Pacific data center platform focused on hyperscale, cloud, and AI infrastructure. The operator says it has secured roughly 1.8 GW of IT power across nine countries, with active markets spanning China, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand, plus corporate offices in Singapore and Hong Kong.

The company positions itself as an AI-ready regional platform and is an official Nvidia partner for AI infrastructure. Its 2026 build pipeline is anchored by a 100 MW campus in Chonburi, Thailand (financed by an US$880 million green loan with B.Grimm Power, the largest data center loan in the country), a 60 MW Ansan facility (SEL5) in power-constrained South Korea, and a 350 MW hyperscale/build-to-suit campus in India.

Growth is funded through project debt plus platform financing: in May 2026 Digital Edge closed its inaugural US$575 million HoldCo loan to accelerate expansion across key APAC markets. Group CEO John Freeman leads a team of more than 610 specialists across the region, and the fifth annual ESG report (April 2026) reports coverage of 31 APAC data centers.
