The Asia-Pacific Data Centre Association (APDCA) was inaugurated as the premier trade association representing the collective interests of the data centre industry in the Asia-Pacific region. Comprising major global operators like AirTrunk, Digital Realty, Equinix, and others, the association aims to foster collaboration among stakeholders and advocate for policies conducive to the sustainable growth of the data centre sector.
With founding members constituting 40% of the APAC market, the APDCA pledges to work closely with governments to develop regulations ensuring data centre security, resilience, and environmental sustainability, while also generating economic benefits for local communities.
As the APAC data centre colocation market continues to expand rapidly, reaching 10,233 MW in 2023, and projected to grow further, the APDCA recognizes the pivotal role of digital infrastructure in driving economic growth and innovation across the region. Jeremy Deutsch, Interim Chairperson of the APDCA, emphasizes the critical importance of a unified vision for digital infrastructure amidst escalating demand for digital services.
The APDCA’s establishment aligns with global efforts toward sustainability, echoing the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact in Europe. Collaboration between the APDCA and its European counterpart signifies a concerted effort to address shared challenges and opportunities on a global scale.
With governance led by a Board appointed by founding members, the APDCA is poised to champion the interests of the industry, advancing discussions on policy frameworks and infrastructure development essential for a secure and sustainable digital future in the Asia-Pacific.
