At the R.A.C.E to Zero Summit 2026, our President and CEO, Carlo Malana, joined a panel to discuss grid modernisation and digital infrastructure-related investment opportunities in the Philippines, with a focus on how the nation is positioning itself as a prime destination for renewable energy investment. During the discussion, Carlo shared these key insights:

• Scaling for the AI Wave: AI is driving a massive shift in power and capacity requirements for hyperscale developments. This evolution is exemplified by STT Fairview 1, the first building in our 124MW STT Fairview data center campus, which provides the necessary scale to support advanced workloads of the future.

• Commercial Benefits of Renewables: Our transition to 100% renewable energy is a strategic commercial strategy that reduces exposure to fossil-fuel price volatility. By leveraging deflationary energy sources, we are better positioned to manage long-term costs and operational certainty for our customers.

• Infrastructure for Sovereign Tech: Localizing data processing within the Philippines is essential for digital sovereignty. By anchoring compute and storage capabilities domestically, we help ensure national digital services remain secure, resilient and operational even amid global disruptions.

• Hyper-Digitalization and Grid Readiness: Driven by massive digital adoption, data consumption is at an all-time high. Our facilities are strategically located within the Metro Manila grid, delivering the infrastructure and redundancy required to support always‑on digital services.

As the demand for digital services accelerates, STT GDC Philippines remains committed to building the sustainable, resilient infrastructure needed to power the nation’s progress.

We were glad to be part of a meaningful discussion at the Gen AI Summit Philippines 2026. Our President and CEO, Carlo Malana, joined Atty. Emma Theresa Cabochan (Asia United Bank) and Francis Adrian Viernes (Megaworld Corporation) to explore how BFSI organizations can build their AI-readiness.

The session highlighted a key reality: while ambition for AI adoption is strong, success ultimately depends on the strength of the underlying foundation. STT GDC Philippines addresses this gap through purpose-built infrastructure such as STT Fairview 1, providing an AI-ready environment that enables organizations to scale their workloads seamlessly as their needs grow.

Here are three key takeaways from the panel:

• Bridging the scaling gap: Although 79% of Philippine firms are in the builder stage, many struggle to move beyond exploratory AI initiatives due to limited access to specialized talent and physical infrastructure. Without the right resources to scale, AI efforts often remain confined to small pilots rather than solutions capable of supporting a digitally savvy population.

• Infrastructure as governance: In highly regulated sectors like BFSI, infrastructure must meet stringent security and reliability standards while ensuring data residency within the Philippines. This is critical, as data hosted outside the country may fall beyond the scope of local regulations and protections.

• Sustainability at scale: AI workloads are energy-intensive, making renewable power a key consideration for organizations with sustainability goals. By partnering with STT GDC Philippines—the only large-scale provider in the country operating on 100% renewable energy—organizations can support AI growth while staying aligned with environmental commitments.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth. Alongside discussions on infrastructure, we were glad to share more on our AI Innovation Centre, where we help organizations bridge the gap between AI strategy and real-world deployment.
