Overview

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) is a Singapore-headquartered wholesale and hyperscale datacenter operator that has grown from a single-country builder into one of Asia-Pacific's largest colocation platforms, with a footprint of more than 20 facilities across roughly a dozen countries in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The company operates directly in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, and India, and holds equity stakes in VIRTUS Data Centres (UK) and GDS Services (China).

Ownership shifted materially in early 2026, when KKR and Singapore's Singtel jointly agreed to buy an 82% stake from Temasek-owned ST Telemedia for S$6.6 billion, with KKR taking 75% and Singtel 25%. The transaction followed a S$1.75 billion equity injection from the same two investors in June 2024 and marks one of the largest private-infrastructure deals in the region. Bruno Lopez, who has led STT GDC as Group President and CEO since its inception, remains in place under the new ownership.

The company is positioning aggressively for AI-training demand: 2026 announcements include a US$1.37 billion green-financing package for its STT Johor campus in Malaysia, a new 50 MW AI-ready build in Singapore, the opening of STT Seoul 1, expansion of the STT Jakarta campus, and an AI Innovation Centre partnership with SuperX. Its stated portfolio reach is more than 1.7 GW of committed IT load, and it publishes an ESG report claiming 83.2% renewable sourcing.
