KKR-Singtel Consortium Completes STTGDC Acquisition, Launches Refreshed Brand to Accelerate AI-Ready Infrastructure

STTGDC, a leading data centre platform, has announced the completion of its acquisition by a consortium led by global investment firm KKR and Singtel. The transaction, finalized on 2 September 2026, marks a significant milestone for the company, which has been at the forefront of providing digital infrastructure across Asia and Europe. Alongside the acquisition, STTGDC unveiled a refreshed global brand, signaling its readiness for the next phase of growth as a global digital infrastructure platform.

The acquisition strengthens STTGDC's ability to execute its existing strategy, which focuses on scaling AI-ready digital infrastructure. With long-term capital from KKR and Singtel, along with their extensive infrastructure experience, STTGDC is poised for continued growth and momentum. The company's customers will continue to benefit from the same leadership team, operating discipline, and long-term commitment that have driven its success for over a decade.

The refreshed brand, while retaining the STTGDC name, reflects the scale, capabilities, and global platform the company has built over more than 12 years. The brand is anchored in the concept of "Built Ready," which emphasizes STTGDC's commitment to delivering reliable, resilient, and AI-ready infrastructure to customers across Asia, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Bruno Lopez, President and Group CEO of STTGDC, highlighted the significance of this moment: "Today marks the most important turning point in STTGDC's evolution since we founded the company more than 12 years ago. The completion of this transaction signals the beginning of a new chapter for our company."

STTGDC enters this new phase with strong operating momentum and a substantial development pipeline. Since the end of 2025, the company's operational capacity has increased by 25% to 780MW, contracted capacity has grown by 50%, and annualised EBITDA has risen by 30%. This growth reflects sustained demand from hyperscalers, cloud service providers, AI customers, and enterprises across its markets. As AI changes the scale and complexity of data centre development, the industry's defining challenge is converting demand into delivered capacity. This requires coordinated planning across power, cooling, design, supply chains, financing, and local market conditions, along with the discipline to operate mission-critical infrastructure reliably.

STTGDC's growth strategy remains focused on markets where customer requirements, power availability, infrastructure readiness, policy alignment, and long-term fundamentals support responsible development. With close to 2GW of powered land secured for assets under construction and pipeline development, the company is well positioned to convert customer demand into delivered capacity. Its global platform capabilities and local execution experience enable it to navigate distinct operating conditions in each market.

In India, STTGDC operates 34 data centres across 10 cities with more than 613MW of IT capacity, strategically scaling to support the country's growing digital economy. In Indonesia, the company is expanding its Jakarta campus, advancing a development pipeline of over 360MW of AI-ready IT capacity backed by secured power. Singapore remains strategically important, with STTGDC selected to develop 50MW of sustainable, AI-ready data centre capacity, supporting the nation's role as a trusted hub for AI and digital infrastructure.

Responsible growth remains integral to STTGDC's operations. The company sources 83.2% of its electricity from renewable energy, surpassing its 2028 carbon intensity reduction target three years ahead of schedule. It works closely with governments, customers, and communities to address local priorities and maintain its social license to operate. This acquisition and brand refresh underscore STTGDC's readiness to meet the growing demand for AI-ready infrastructure, positioning the company for sustained impact in the digital economy.
