After Singapore, Seoul and Tokyo, entry into Taiwan region brings the DC platform’s footprint to 4 markets in Asia reaching nearly 70MW of IT co-location capacity in prime locationsThe newest IDC that is AI-ready with power secured amidst the current energy challenges in Taiwan

SINGAPORE and TAIPEI , Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Empyrion Digital, a next-generation digital infrastructure platform, is pleased to announce its strategic expansion into Taiwan to develop a 7MW (IT Load) edge co-location data centre in Neihu, Taipei. With 10MW of power already secured, this move comes at an opportune time when Taiwan’s energy grid is facing power shortages, creating potential challenges for other new data centre entrants.

Located in Neihu, a key technology business district of Taipei which is home to the headquarters of gaming, electronics and tech companies, the Taipei data centre (TW1) is strategically located in a network dense area where east and west cable landing stations converge. TW1’s latest design aims to cater to the needs of both cloud and high-performance AI computing which current legacy data centres are struggling to accommodate.

As one of the most populous Northeast Asian economies, Taiwan is home to over 23 million people and best known for being a fast-moving technology and R&D hub, and semiconductor powerhouse. Taiwan is also emerging as a key data centre hub in North Asia and its data centres being the critical infrastructure enabling cloud and AI, is expected to generate co-location revenue of US$226.2 million in 2024. This growth is projected to reach US$346 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.88% during the forecast period (2024-2029)[1].

Traditionally, the Taiwan co-location market is mainly driven by domestic demand but there has been an uptick in demand from international cloud, content providers and enterprises entering the market. With limited supply coming onboard over the next few years, Empyrion Digital’s entry into Taiwan is primed to meet this increased inbound demand, including those from the banking and financial sectors, given the sensitivity and security requirements of this sector.

Another key differentiator of TW1 is its focus on sustainability. By adopting the use of advanced cooling technology and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), TW1 will achieve a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) rating of 1.33 or lower and a Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) of close to net zero. Upon completion, TW1 will also receive Taiwan’s Green Building Gold Certification, reinforcing Empyrion Digital’s status as a leader in sustainable digital infrastructure.

Mr. Mark Fong, CEO of Empyrion Digital, said: “We are excited to expand into Taiwan and this investment is another step forward in the company’s ambition to grow in Asia where land and power are scarce. With its robust semiconductor industry and tech-savvy talent pool, Taiwan is a strategic location for us to build the next generation of AI-ready data centres. Our presence here will ensure that businesses in Taiwan have access to the digital infrastructure necessary to stay competitive and foster deeper collaboration between Taiwan and global technology ecosystems.”

He added, “TW1 will add to our existing data centre cluster in Singapore, Korea and Japan, ensuring we are well-positioned to capture wholesale and edge co-location demand and empower our customers with flexible deployment solutions across the four markets.”

Construction for the TW1 data centre is expected to commence in 2025 and be ready for service by 2027.

By end 2025, Empyrion Digital is poised to grow its pan Asian platform to over 170MW (IT Load) across Asia. The platform currently operates a 7.7 MW data centre in Singapore, is constructing a 29.4 MW data centre in Seoul, and will commence construction of a 25MW data centre in Tokyo in early 2025.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
