SINGAPORE – August 3, 2026 – SB Telecom Singapore Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of SoftBank Corp., SC ZEUS Data Centers Pte Ltd, and Robust HPC Group have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), effective August 1, 2026, to execute collaborative AI Data Center (AIDC) deployment initiatives across Southeast Asia. This strategic three-way partnership focuses on two primary pillars: GPU infrastructure supply, build, and operation, alongside dedicated AIDC construction and development within the region.

The partnership combines the unique strengths of all three organizations to address the surging regional demand for high-density artificial intelligence computing workloads. Under the agreement, SC ZEUS Data Centers will serve as the preferred partner to source land, design, build, and operate the core data center infrastructure. Robust HPC Group will spearhead the procurement, setup, and management of high-performance GPU clusters, utilizing advanced hardware.

SB Telecom Singapore will drive the data hall fit-out, ICT infrastructure integration, localized deployment support, and critical connectivity solutions. Together, the parties will develop innovative “AI Factory” solutions and explore diverse commercial models, including GPU-as-a-Service platforms and AI Token Factory. The initial deployment initiatives will focus heavily on Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam with subsequent plans to expand to the wider SEA region and neighbouring markets.

“This alliance marks a monumental step in accelerating digital transformation across Southeast Asia,” said Hisao Inoue, Managing Director of SB Telecom Singapore Pte. Ltd. “By unifying our robust ICT connectivity with SC ZEUS’s specialized infrastructure capabilities and Robust HPC’s advanced supercomputing expertise, we are uniquely positioned to deliver the massively scalable, real-time computing environments essential for the future of AI.”

The envisioned facilities will feature advanced capabilities like liquid cooling infrastructure, 800 VDC architecture and low-latency networking, ensuring the region is fully equipped for next-generation AI workloads.
