According to The Global Data Center Report 2025, Singapore today has one of the highest compute capacities in the world — about 8,000 people per megawatt of compute power. In Vietnam, that number jumps to 1.7 million. This growing gap isn’t just about infrastructure — it’s about who gets to build, train, and benefit from the next generation of AI.

We sit down with Tim Lin, Partner and Co-Founder of The Digital Infrastructure Collective (Asia), to explore one of the most overlooked inequalities of the digital age — the compute divide.

Tim shares how regions like the Johor–Singapore nexus could anchor a more inclusive model for digital growth in Asia, combining policy foresight, private investment, and cross-border collaboration.

From data sovereignty to AI accessibility, it’s a conversation about the unseen power structures shaping our digital future — and what it will take to make the AI economy truly equitable.
