Google Completes Singapore Data Centre Expansion, Boosts Regional Hub

Google has completed its latest data centre and cloud region campus expansion in Singapore, marking a significant milestone in the company’s investment in technical infrastructure in the nation. The expansion brings Google’s total investment in Singapore to USD $5 billion, powering the company’s popular digital services such as Search, Maps, and Workspace. This development is crucial for delivering the benefits of AI to users and customers across Singapore.
The expansion is a substantial boost to Singapore’s position as a data centre hub for the region, with the country being one of the 11 countries where Google operates data centres that serve users worldwide. The Google Cloud region in Singapore offers high-performance and low-latency services to large enterprises, startups, and public sector organisations, providing stringent security measures, data residency, and compliance standards. The Singapore cloud region is part of the 40 regions and 121 zones that Google operates globally.
The expansion aligns with Google’s ongoing strategic initiatives in collaboration with the Singapore Government, including programmes such as AI Trailblazers, Google for Startups Accelerator: AI First Singapore, and Skills Ignition SG. These initiatives support Singapore’s National AI Strategy 2.0, reinforcing the city-state’s ambition to be a pivotal data centre hub while contributing to compute infrastructure aimed at enabling AI-driven economic growth.
