Meet DITF

In the era of accelerating global digital transformation, the rapid development of advanced technologies such as cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) is profoundly reshaping the operating model of various industries and placing unprecedented demands on computing power, storage and high-speed connectivity. The "Digital Infrastructure Technology Forum (DITF) 2025" jointly sponsored by China International Trade in Services Fair (CIFTIS) and Digital Infrastructure Technical Committee (DITC), and organized by China International Trade in Services Fair Computer Telecommunications and China IDC Circle, It will be held from April 23rd-25th 2025 at the Marina Bay Sands Exhibition and Convention Centre in Singapore, coinciding with GITEX Global.

Currently, with the accelerated pace of Chinese enterprises going global and the rapid increase in demand for cloud services, Southeast Asian regions such as Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia are expected to become the fastest-growing markets for computing power centers globally in the next five years, with some areas seeing an annual growth rate of even over 35%. DITF 2025, closely focusing on the theme of "Investment·Technology·Sustainable Development," aims to connect resources from multiple parties including government departments, telecommunications operators, data centers and colocation service providers, AI startups, etc., to conduct an in-depth analysis of the cutting-edge trends and investment opportunities in global digital infrastructure. This event, through three days of high-end exchanges, is committed to building an international platform for communication and cooperation for professionals in the global digital infrastructure field, gathering industry leaders, experts, and potential partners to jointly promote the sustainable development of the global digital industry ecosystem.

Industry Insight

Global data center and cloud infrastructure Trends

Global data center demand is rising rapidly, thanks to the explosive growth of data, the popularity of cloud computing, and the transformation of enterprises' digital operating models. In the Asia-Pacific region, Japan, China, Singapore and Hong Kong have formed highly mature data center clusters, while markets such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines are gradually becoming new high-growth potential areas due to the continuous improvement of network connectivity, the release of demographic dividend and the positive promotion of government policies.

At the same time, the Middle East is developing its digital infrastructure, and mature markets such as North America and Europe continue to drive sustainability while strengthening compliance and advanced refrigeration technology. With the increasing popularity of emerging technologies such as AI, 5G, and IoT, there is an increasingly urgent need for data center computing density, power management, and connectivity to meet the needs of low-latency, high-reliability services, while taking into account global environmental and compliance requirements.

Strategic opportunities and challenges
Image 1

Regulatory environment

Southeast Asian countries generally encourage digitalization and offer multiple incentives such as tax incentives, but hierarchical and differentiated regulatory frameworks remain a challenge for cross-border business.

Image 2

Inadequate infrastructure

In secondary and emerging markets, power stability and fiber optic infrastructure are relatively weak, which can affect the speed and effectiveness of large-scale data center projects.

Image 3

Sustainable development

With increasing environmental demands from investors, industry and society, operators need to actively deploy green strategies, renewable energy and refrigeration technology innovation to achieve carbon reduction and compliance targets.

Image 1

Talent shortage

Emerging markets need to improve the talent pool for designing, operating and maintaining high-end data center facilities, and the contradiction between the supply and demand of professional technology and management talent is more prominent.

Image 2

Competitive pattern

International manufacturers are accelerating their entry into the Southeast Asian market, and local companies need to rely on cost advantages, customized services or expertise accumulation to highlight differentiated competitive capabilities.
