# Asia's Top Tech Hubs: Singapore

By Alex Hawkes|26 July, 2021

![](https://blog.consoleconnect.com/hubfs/Singapore_hub_blog_image-01.png)

[Singapore](https://info.consoleconnect.com/resources/connectivity-and-cloud-guide-singapore?hsLang=en-us) is well placed to serve the fast-growing markets of the [Asia-Pacific](https://www.consoleconnect.com/locations/asia/) region as well as act as a gateway to the rest of the world due to its long-standing role as a strategic link and important location for global investors.

With a dense concentration of enterprises, data centres and bandwidth providers, discover why Singapore is widely considered the most mature data centre market in South East Asia, and one of the most competitive in the world.

## A gateway to Asia

Singapore has a long history as the gateway to Asia, not only due to its geographic position but also because of its attractiveness for financing and investment.

Singapore’s location at the crossroads of important trade lines has given it a strategic advantage as a hub for global industry, originally as a nexus for physical trade routes and now for digital connectivity, with more than 25 subsea cables landing on the island and connecting Singapore to every continent.

According to the [Global Interconnection Index](https://www.equinix.nl/gxi-report), published by Equinix Internet Exchange, internet traffic in Asia-Pacific has seen a record growth of 44% CAGR over the past five years to 2021. Furthermore, the trend in traffic growth has been led by Singapore, which over the past five years has emerged as one of the biggest [internet exchange points](https://www.consoleconnect.com/services/automated-services/ixaas/)(IXP) by size worldwide, growing at 53% CAGR.

With a stable government and a mature, business-friendly environment nurtured through economic policies, Singapore has also become a start-up hub with around [US$300 million in funding made available for deep-tech start-ups in 2020](https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/singapore-budget-2020/budget-2020-deep-tech-startups-to-get-more-support-under). Its policies have also made it attractive for global organisations to grow their business in Singapore.

This rich and diverse ecosystem of innovation, talent and digital connectivity has helped Singapore take the crown as the leading data centre hub for the region with plenty of opportunities for connection and innovation.

## An epicentre of data centres

[Data centres](https://www.consoleconnect.com/locations/)are big business in Singapore, which counts dozens of high-end facilities in the city-state of just five million people and investors have recently shown an interest in submerged or submarine data centres that can be placed off the coast.

The [Arcadis Data Centre Location Index 2021](https://sgmatters.com/arcadis-data-centre-location-index-2021-singapore/#:~:text=Singapore%20is%20ranked%202nd%20in,a%20regional%20Data%20Centre%20hub.) ranked Singapore the second most attractive city in the world to build data centres. Meanwhile, [Cushman & Wakefield’s 2021 Global Data Centre Market Comparison report](https://www.cushmanwakefield.com/en/japan/news/2021/02/2021-data-center-global-market-comparison) ranked Singapore’s data centre market fifth - up one rank from 2020.

The Arcadis report recognised the state’s ability to attract major investments from the technology industry thanks to a well-educated workforce and stable government, making it a “natural colocation hub for serving markets across South-east Asia and India”.
