Empyrion Digital accelerates growth with expansion into Taiwan

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.

Greenzie releases 2025 Annual Safety Report, documenting multi-year safety performance at commercial scale

Published

on

By

The data shows zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses across real-world operation

ATLANTA, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greenzie, the technology platform powering commercial autonomy across multiple OEMs, today shared multi-year safety data from real-world commercial operation, documenting more than 150,000 autonomous miles with zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses. The data is published in Greenzie’s 2025 Annual Safety Report, available at greenzie.com/safety.

The report is based on extensive operational data spanning more than 5.4 billion square feet of turf mowed, 68,000+ hours of autonomous mowing and more than 50,000 operator days, the equivalent of 265 mowing seasons.

“Greenzie is helping define safety in autonomous landscape operations, and transparency is a critical part of that,” said Steve Bush, chief operating officer of Greenzie. “These results show that commercial autonomy is operating safely at meaningful scale in the field. Transparency matters because as this category matures, real-world data helps build confidence in what responsible deployment looks like.”

The report’s findings are particularly significant in the context of the U.S. landscaping industry, which employs roughly 1.3 million workers and experiences a higher-than-average rate of workplace accidents compared to other fields. Greenzie’s multi-year operating data shows that autonomy is not theoretical; it is already being deployed consistently and performing safely at scale.

“Greenzie Powered Autonomy™ has been validated through years of sustained use in the field,” Bush said. “That level of real-world performance reinforces both the reliability of our platform and the broader readiness of commercial autonomy.”

Greenzie attributes this performance to a disciplined safety approach that includes robust perception, tested operating standards and continuous validation in real-world commercial environments.

Founded in 2018, Greenzie is the technology platform powering commercial autonomy. Created to solve the landscape industry’s labor and productivity challenges, Greenzie works with leading equipment manufacturers to deliver the software, navigation and safety systems that enable mowing and other outdoor power equipment to operate autonomously in real-world commercial environments. Today, Greenzie’s platform is running on hundreds of machines in active use, helping manufacturers bring autonomy to market and allowing operators to get more done with limited labor—moving autonomy from early experimentation to everyday operations.
