Southeast Asia (SEA) is one of the fastest-growing digital economies, driving massive investments in connectivity, interconnect hubs, and network infrastructure. With a population of over 680 million, rapid cloud adoption, AI deployment, 5G expansion, and hyperscaler investments are reshaping the region’s connectivity landscape.
As network acquisition activity intensifies across Southeast Asia and beyond, the pressure to streamline processes, reduce manual workload, and manage multi-layered risks—including cybersecurity and physical infrastructure vulnerabilities—has never been higher. This session explores how organisations are adapting their acquisition strategies to meet these challenges head-on.
This discussion will spotlight actionable strategies to de-risk acquisitions, improve integration outcomes, and reduce the cost and effort required to expand network capabilities.
The increasing demand for low-latency, high-bandwidth global connectivity is driving subsea and cross-border interconnect acquisitions. With the explosion of cloud computing, AI workloads, and 5G expansion, hyperscalers, telecom firms, and private investors are aggressively investing in subsea cables and interconnect hubs to control digital trade routes.
The demand for sustainable and energy-efficient network infrastructure is driving a new wave of green acquisitions in the telecom, data center, and subsea cable industries. Companies are prioritizing low-carbon, renewable-powered, and energy-efficient networks to align with corporate ESG goals, regulatory mandates, and customer demand for greener digital infrastructure.
