MAY 20256 The APAC region is witnessing rapid growth in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, fueled by digitalization and the drive for business competitiveness. This surge places increasing demands on data centers, requiring advanced cooling technologies and automated workflows to efficiently manage rising workloads and heat generation. Energy-efficient cooling solutions are now both a technical necessity and a cornerstone of sustainable operations.However, data centers must address the challenge of rising energy consumption while complying with increasingly stringent environmental regulations. At the same time, workflow automation providers must integrate AI-driven solutions seamlessly across industries without compromising computing efficiency. Without a robust cooling infrastructure, the widespread adoption of AI and cloud computing could lead to system inefficiencies, downtime, and escalating operational costs--potentially slowing the region's digital transformation. To mitigate these risks, businesses invest in cutting-edge technologies such as liquid cooling, immersion cooling, and AI-powered temperature management systems that enhance energy efficiency.Governments across APAC actively promote greener technologies through incentives for energy-efficient cooling systems, stricter emissions standards, and investments in renewable energy integration. Many countries are also launching smart city initiatives that rely on AI-driven automation and robust data center infrastructure, further underscoring the strategic importance of this convergence. As these industries continue to evolve together, they are expected to attract foreign investment, create high-tech jobs, and position APAC as a global leader in digital infrastructure. In this edition, we feature ADC Power Concept Group of Companies, a trusted leader in mission-critical infrastructure, along with insights from Athikom Kanchanavibhu, Executive Vice President of Digital & Technology Transformation at Mitr Phol Group, and Deanna Yap, Chief People Officer at Smollan, Southeast Asia. Their perspectives offer valuable insights into the evolving landscape of APAC data center cooling and workflow automation, helping you make informed, data-driven business decisions.Let us know your thoughts.EditorialSmart Cooling and Automation Powering APAC's Digital FutureAnnie JohnsonManaging Editoreditor@apacciooutlook.comArt & GraphicsHenry SmithDavid ParkerToby LangtonJie Ch'angManaging EditorAnnie JohnsonSenior WritersLane Adams Clara MathewRoyce D'SouzaEditorialAlfred MardinLouis BeckerRachael Clark Michael LivingstonRoy ChowDai ShihDan Stanley Mark SylvesterMAY - 2025, Volume 11 - Issue - 03 (ISSN 2644-2876)Published by ValleyMedia Inc.Emailsales@apacciooutlook.comeditor@apacciooutlook.commarketing@apacciooutlook.comTo subscribe to APACCIOOutlookVisit www.apacciooutlook.comCopyright © 2025 ValleyMedia Inc.
