Bridge Data Centres, backed by Bain Capital, is planning to invest up to SGD5 billion (about USD3.9 billion) in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in Singapore as demand for high-performance computing continues to grow across Asia. The investment will focus on developing advanced data centre technologies, including next-generation cooling systems, energy-efficient power architectures and AI-enabled operations designed for high-density computing environments.
Singapore will serve as the primary base for the initiative, with the company also planning to recruit technical and research talent to support innovation and facility development. Bridge Data Centres is working with multiple partners to expand its AI infrastructure capabilities as part of a broader strategy to scale its presence across Asia and reach up to 3 GW of global capacity by 2030.
As part of its development pipeline, the company is also exploring alternative energy solutions, including Singapore’s first floating hydrogen-based power generation system in partnership with Concord New Energy. The barge-based platform is intended to supply electricity to future AI data centres, supporting more sustainable and reliable power sources for energy-intensive computing operations.
