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).\n\nOwnership 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.\n\nThe 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.","status":null,"founded":2014,"hq":"Singapore","hqLat":null,"hqLng":null,"hqGeocodedAt":null,"hqAddress":null,"hqPrecision":null,"website":null,"fundingTotal":"6600000000","type":"hardware","roles":[],"reviewStatus":"reviewed","lifecycleState":"active","supersededByCompanyId":null,"sources":[{"url":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/","name":"ST Telemedia Global Data Centres","title":"STT GDC — Data Centre Provider"},{"url":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/about-us/our-leadership","title":"STT GDC leadership team","publisher":"ST Telemedia Global Data Centres"},{"url":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/newsroom","date":"2026-08-21","title":"STT GDC newsroom (2026 press releases)","publisher":"ST Telemedia Global Data Centres"},{"url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_Telemedia","title":"ST Telemedia (parent company article, KKR/Singtel deal history)","publisher":"Wikipedia"}],"keyFacts":[{"label":"Markets","value":"Singapore, India, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Italy, Poland"},{"label":"CEO","value":"Jonathan Rimmer (Group CEO)"},{"label":"Parent","value":"ST Telemedia (Temasek Holdings subsidiary)"},{"label":"Facilities","value":"170+ across 11 countries"},{"label":"Capacity","value":"2.3 GW design capacity"},{"label":"Acquisition","value":"KKR/Singtel acquiring at S$13.8B EV"},{"label":"Headquarters","value":"3 Temasek Avenue, Centennial Tower, Singapore 039190","sourceUrl":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/"},{"label":"Portfolio scale","value":"More than 20 datacenters across roughly 12 countries in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the UK","sourceUrl":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/"},{"label":"Countries operated","value":"Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, India, plus equity stakes in the UK (VIRTUS) and China (GDS)","sourceUrl":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/"},{"label":"Parent ownership (2026)","value":"KKR 75% and Singtel 25% acquired an 82% stake from ST Telemedia in Feb 2026 for S$6.6 billion; ST Telemedia (a Temasek subsidiary) retains the remaining 18%","sourceUrl":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_Telemedia"},{"label":"Prior funding round","value":"S$1.75 billion equity injection from KKR and Singtel, June 2024","sourceUrl":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_Telemedia"},{"label":"Latest debt raise","value":"Up to US$1.37 billion in green financing for the STT Johor Campus expansion, Malaysia, announced 13 Aug 2026","sourceUrl":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/newsroom"},{"label":"New Singapore capacity","value":"Selected on 21 Aug 2026 to develop 50 MW of AI-ready capacity in Singapore under the country's constrained-supply allocation","sourceUrl":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/newsroom"},{"label":"Newest facility launch","value":"STT Seoul 1 opened June 2026, marking entry into South Korea; Tier III design certification awarded May 2026","sourceUrl":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/newsroom"},{"label":"Indonesia expansion","value":"Acceleration of the STT Jakarta Campus announced June 2026, backed by a first green term loan tranche","sourceUrl":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/newsroom"},{"label":"Flagship Singapore site","value":"STT Defu, announced March 2015","sourceUrl":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_Telemedia"},{"label":"UK footprint","value":"49% stake in VIRTUS Data Centres, acquired June 2015","sourceUrl":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_Telemedia"},{"label":"China footprint","value":"Minority stake in GDS Services (Nasdaq/HKEX-listed), initial investment 2014","sourceUrl":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_Telemedia"},{"label":"India footprint","value":"74% majority acquired from Tata Communications 2016-2017 (now branded STT GDC India)","sourceUrl":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_Telemedia"},{"label":"Notable AI/cloud partnership","value":"Partnership with Alibaba Cloud and NTUC (May 2026) to support 1,000 Singapore enterprises in AI adoption; AI Innovation Centre with SuperX debuted April 2026","sourceUrl":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/newsroom"},{"label":"Sustainability posture","value":"Sixth annual ESG report (July 2026) claims 2028 carbon-intensity targets hit three years early; renewable sourcing 83.2%","sourceUrl":"https://www.sttelemediagdc.com/newsroom"},{"label":"Public listing status","value":"Privately held; not listed.
