ST Telemedia Global Data Centres

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) is a fast-growing data centre colocation service provider headquartered in Singapore. The company was founded in 2014 by Bruno Lopez, who serves as the President and Group Chief Executive Officer. Since its inception, Lopez has guided the company's strategic direction and growth, expanding its footprint across Asia and Europe.

STT GDC operates as a strategic investor and subsidiary of ST Telemedia (STT), which is a portfolio company of the Singaporean state-owned investment firm, Temasek Holdings. The company's business model is centered on providing carrier-neutral data centre solutions, including colocation, connectivity, and infrastructure management services. This model allows clients a choice of network providers, enhancing flexibility. The firm generates revenue by leasing its data centre space and providing associated support services to a wide range of customers, from Fortune 500 companies to cloud service providers.

The company's growth strategy involves a mix of organic development, strategic partnerships, and acquisitions. A significant milestone was the 2016 acquisition of a 74% majority stake in Tata Communications' data centre businesses in India and Singapore, establishing STT GDC India. This was followed by the full acquisition of UK-based VIRTUS Data Centres in 2017. By June 2024, STT GDC secured a S$1.75 billion investment from a consortium led by KKR and including Singtel, marking the largest digital infrastructure investment in Southeast Asia for the year. The company has a global platform of over 170 data centres in markets including Singapore, the UK, India, China, Thailand, South Korea, Indonesia, and Japan. Its services are designed to be scalable and secure, catering to the evolving needs of its clients in an increasingly digital world.
