Temasek-backed STT GDC, SuperX open AI facility in Singapore

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), a Temasek-backed data center provider, and Nasdaq-listed SuperX AI Technology have opened an AI Innovation Center at STT Singapore 5 in Tai Seng.

The facility allows enterprises to test and run AI workloads locally.

The companies said the site offers access to Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, Intel Xeon Gold processors, and 400G InfiniBand networking.

This includes a 14-day free trial for qualified users.

The launch follows a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in January.

An STT GDC survey of more than 600 leaders across nine Asian markets found that most were stalled in the “Building” phase of AI maturity due to a lack of foundational infrastructure.

🧠 Food for thought

Implications, context, and why it matters.

SuperX AI’s recent stock surge is driven by a narrow group of owners

  • SuperX trades on Nasdaq, yet its ownership and finances look unusual for a broadly held public company.
  • Its market value recently hit about US$357 million after the stock climbed 118% 1.
  • Control sits with a small set of holders. Private companies own 53% of the firm, while Alpha Generator Limited holds 40% 1.
  • Institutional fund ownership remains low, plus the stock has no analyst coverage. Professional investors still pay it little attention 1.

The AI Innovation Centre model could help address stalled enterprise AI infrastructure readiness

  • A “try-before-you-buy” setup lets enterprise technology teams test AI compute with less downside before larger deals.
  • Qualified users get a 14-day free trial on Nvidia Blackwell graphics processing units (GPUs), Intel Xeon Gold processors, plus 400G InfiniBand, a high-speed networking technology used to connect servers [News Article].
  • Teams that validate their AI models may move into paid contracts for SuperX’s AI infrastructure products or ST Telemedia Global Data Centres’ data center services.
  • Other infrastructure providers could copy the approach, offering packaged AI test environments that lower risk for enterprises still holding back.
