SINGAPORE, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Delta Electronics, a global leader
in power management and smart green solutions, hosted the annual Delta SEAO Future
Industry Summit 2026 for the first time in Singapore, after seven consecutive editions
in Thailand. Held under the theme "Advancing Regional Infrastructure for AI and 
Energy Transformation Evolution", the Summit brought together over 200 prominent
government officials, industry executives, academics, and media stakeholders to 
discuss solutions that accelerate the adoption of sustainable digital and energy
infrastructure. This is aimed at supporting AI-driven growth across the Southeast
Asia and Oceania (SEAO) region. At the Summit, Delta also deepened its collaboration
with National University of Singapore (NUS) College of Design and Engineering (CDE)
by joining the Sustainable Tropical Data Center Testbed (STDCT) Phase 2.0 Consortium
to foster sustainable AI data center innovation.

Shan-Shan Guo, Delta’s Chief Brand Officer, said, "The energy transition is essential
to addressing climate change. The rise of electrification and AI infrastructure 
is making the need for resilient, energy-efficient power infrastructure increasingly
urgent. Since its founding 55 years ago, Delta has been committed to driving sustainability
through innovation and energy conservation. We are honored to share at the Delta
SEAO Future Industry Summit some of Delta’s key sustainability endeavors, including
the acceleration of the energy transition with our microgrid solutions, helping 
customers move toward net zero carbon emissions with our ESG consulting services,
and our coral restoration journey in Singapore and other regions. Together with 
our customers and partners, we are building a smarter, greener tomorrow."

"Southeast Asia’s infrastructure needs are evolving rapidly as AI and electrification
reshape the region. With its long-term development in power and thermal management,
Delta brings deep expertise across power, cooling, automation and energy management,"
said Jason Yuan, President of Delta Electronics Southeast Asia & Oceania. "Our strength
lies in bringing these capabilities together to help build future-ready infrastructure
that is reliable, scalable, efficient and adaptable to the region’s needs. That 
is the conversation we want to advance by bringing our annual SEAO Summit to Singapore."

The program included executive keynotes and two panel discussions focused on energy
infrastructure readiness for the region’s data centers and the role of industrial
and building automation in sustainable manufacturing. The Singapore edition builds
on Delta’s growing engagement across Southeast Asia, following the opening of its
new Johor Bahru office and the Solutions Day forum in Kuala Lumpur in July. Together,
these initiatives reflect Delta’s continued investment in the region and its focus
on supporting the infrastructure demands created by AI, electrification and industrial
transformation.

The Summit arrives as Southeast Asia’s data center power demand grows faster than
any other region in the world. According to an IDC study commissioned by Delta ^((*)),
surveyed Southeast Asian operators reported 26-50% year-on-year growth in power 
demand, against 11-20% in the United States and Europe. 60% here are also already
deploying, planning, or evaluating direct liquid cooling, the highest adoption rate
of the three regions surveyed. The same study found that 24-26% of Southeast Asian
operators cite cluster around power, grid, cooling capacity and equipment lead-time
risks as their single biggest constraint on scaling.

Singapore is also investing in the infrastructure and research capabilities needed
to support the next generation of data centers. The country is developing new approaches
to tropical data center design and testing, including through the STDCT, hosted 
at the NUS CDE.

**Collaboration with NUS to Advance Sustainable Data Center Innovation**

Against this backdrop, Delta formalized today, at the Delta SEAO Future Industry
Summit 2026, its deepening collaboration with NUS CDE through its participation 
in the Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed Phase 2.0 (STDCT 2.0) Consortium.
As part of the collaboration, Delta will provide NUS CDE with an AI Containerized
Data Center and related equipment, to support research and testing of data center
technologies suited to tropical conditions. The collaboration brings together Delta’s
expertise in power, cooling, and data center infrastructure with NUS CDE’s research
capabilities in tropical data center design and testing.

"AI is fundamentally changing the design envelope for data centers, with much higher
power densities and thermal loads placing new demands on power, cooling and infrastructure
efficiency," said Professor Lee Poh Seng, Programme Director of STDCT 2.0 and Head
of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at NUS CDE. "STDCT 2.0 is designed to
bridge the gap between innovation and real-world deployment by providing a live 
environment in which next-generation technologies can be integrated, tested and 
validated under tropical operating conditions. Delta brings deep capabilities across
power electronics, thermal management and data center infrastructure, and this collaboration
will enable us to explore these technologies at system level and demonstrate measurable
improvements in energy efficiency, water efficiency, reliability and climate resilience.
Our goal is to generate solutions and evidence that can accelerate the deployment
of more sustainable AI infrastructure in Singapore and across the wider region."

As AI and electrification reshape infrastructure needs across Southeast Asia, the
Delta SEAO Future Industry Summit 2026, held at Pan Pacific Orchard, brings these
stakeholders together to fulfil the region’s infrastructure needs.
