Necessity is said to be the mother of invention and Singapore has proven that through its history and through its development as a data center hub. Its estimated capacity of over 600 MW is located on a small island with no fossil fuel resources and limited access to renewables.

Combined with social stability, transparency and various rankings for doing business where it is always in the Top Ten, this creates a sought-after ecosystem in which to locate a data center. But the data center landscape is changing and the data center of the future will be denser, better connected, more automated, more reliant on sources of renewable energy and more reliant on specialist skill sets. How will Singapore manage this upcoming wave of changes in order to retain its premium status globally?
