Singapore and Seoul, South Korea, November 16, 2025 – Asia Pacific’s digital infrastructure race just got another formidable player in a notoriously tough market.
Princeton Digital Group (PDG), a leading data center operator, today announced its entry into South Korea, marking its seventh country of operation, after Singapore, Japan, India, Indonesia, China, and Malaysia.
Their ambition isn’t small: PDG plans to develop multiple campuses, aiming for an astounding 500 MW of capacity, all geared to capitalize on the burgeoning AI and cloud opportunities in the region.
Given South Korea’s complex landscape of land constraints and grid limitations, this isn’t just an expansion; it’s a strategic bet on high-stakes growth.
Leading this charge is the flagship 48 MW campus, PDG SE1, strategically located in Incheon, roughly 40 minutes from Central Seoul. This significant facility, spanning 11,000 square meters, is scheduled for completion in early 2028, with construction commencing later this month.
PDG is pouring USD 700 million into SE1, purpose-building it for hyperscale and AI workloads.
This means high-density configurations, cutting-edge cooling technologies, and energy-efficient systems, all in line with PDG’s ambitious Net Zero by 2030 and RE100 commitments.
South Korea is one of Asia’s most mature digital economies, yes, but it’s also one of its most challenging—making PDG’s confident entry a statement in itself.
PDG’s ability to navigate such high-barrier-to-entry environments speaks volumes about its multi-pronged market entry strategy and proven track record across the region. With SE1, PDG’s overall portfolio now exceeds an impressive 1.2 GW of IT capacity across seven countries and more than 20 campuses.
As Rangu Salgame, Chairman, CEO and Co-founder of PDG, puts it, “South Korea is one of Asia Pacific’s most advanced digital economies and a critical market for cloud and AI hyperscalers. Our entry is part of a long-term plan to be a significant provider of AI and cloud data center capacity in the country.”
Backed by some of the world’s largest blue-chip investors, Princeton Digital Group is clearly positioning itself as the trusted partner for the world’s most demanding technology companies in a region that defines digital acceleration.
The question isn’t if Asia Pacific will continue its digital dominance, but who will truly power it.
