ST Telemedia Global Data Centers (STT GDC), a Singapore-based data center colocation provider, and SuperX AI Technology Limited, an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) data center infrastructure solutions provider, have announced the launch of an AI Innovation Center in Singapore following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the parties in January.

Hosted at the STT Singapore 5 facility in Tai Seng, the center provides a dedicated environment designed to help enterprises fast-track their AI journey from experimentation to production-ready scale, STT GDC said in a statement on Wednesday.

Reflecting immediate market demand, the center has already onboarded an initial cohort of users. These early adopters are leveraging the center’s high-performance compute for complex workloads such as advanced modelling and large-scale data simulations.

The partnership arrives as new research from STT GDC indicates a critical AI infrastructure gap across Singapore as well as Asia.

The study, titled “Mind the Gap: Bridging the AI Infrastructure Divide,” surveyed more than 600 leaders across nine Asian markets and found that the majority of organizations are stalled in the ‘Building’ phase of AI maturity due to a lack of foundational infrastructure.

The AI Innovation Center directly addresses these bottlenecks by providing ready, local, and enterprise-grade AI compute.

Engineered for short-term AI workloads, including pilots, proof of concepts (PoCs), and model benchmarking, the center combines STT GDC’s resilient, AI-ready facilities with SuperX’s AI hardware and software.

This reduces the operational complexity that often causes AI pilots to stall, while enabling enterprises to innovate with significantly lower upfront investment and risk.

Key features of the AI Innovation Center include next-gen compute (direct access to the latest NVIDIA Blackwell GPU infrastructure, featuring 192GB HBM3e VRAM per GPU); high-performance architecture (servers configured with Intel Xeon Gold 6767P CPUs and 400G InfiniBand networking for high-speed data processing); frictionless deployment (a dedicated User Portal and Service Catalogue that allows teams to rapidly provision standard GPU plans); data sovereignty and security (all workloads run locally in Singapore within a secure, resilient environment, meeting the data residency requirements of regulated industries); pilot access program (qualified customers receive a 14-day free trial to validate performance, compatibility, and cost efficiency—enabling confident, low-risk decisions before scaling to production).

“The foundation of any successful AI strategy is dependable, scalable infrastructure,” said Mingcheng Lim, Country Head, Singapore at ST Telemedia Global Data Centers.

“By combining our operational excellence with SuperX’s advanced orchestration capabilities, we are providing a strategic blueprint for organizations to move past the pilot phase,

“This center is more than just a testing ground; it is a launchpad for enterprises to achieve measurable return on investment and long-term AI leadership,” he added.

Meanwhile, Kenny Sng, Chief Technology Officer of SuperX AI Technology Limited, said their goal is to provide immediate AI capability.

“Many enterprises struggle with the cost and complexity of setting up dedicated AI environments. The AI Innovation Center reduces that friction, enabling teams to deploy models from a built-in catalogue or third-party marketplaces in days, not months,

“We are bridging the gap between infrastructure and real-world AI outcomes,” he added.

The AI Innovation Center is now open to enterprises, regional businesses, and Institutions of Higher Learning (IHLs).

This showcase facility allows organizations to launch a pilot in weeks, providing the secure, enterprise-grade foundation necessary to move from testing to measurable outcomes with confidence.

Beyond initial validation, the center offers options for full production, hybrid and private AI deployment models, as well as flexible scaling options within STT GDC’s global footprint.

This enables organizations to establish a long-term infrastructure partnership that ensures continued innovation and operational resilience.
