The National University of Singapore has around 30,000 undergraduate students and is dedicated to quality education, influential research and visionary enterprise. The university aims to contribute to resilient, secure and futureready digital infrastructure for the region.
“ As Southeast Asia continues to grow as a strategic digital infrastructure hub, future competitiveness will depend not only on capacity, connectivity and energy efficiency, but also on readiness for emerging advanced technologies such as Quantum Computing,” said Professor Lee Poh Seng, Head, Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Design and Engineering, National University of Singapore.“ This collaboration with BW Digital allows us to bridge academic research with real-world infrastructure development and to help define practical engineering requirements and operational frameworks for quantum-ready facilities in tropical environments. By combining NUS’ engineering expertise with BW Digital’ s industry perspective, we aim to contribute to resilient, secure and future-ready digital infrastructure for the region.”

THE PARTNERSHIP WILL FOCUS ON DEFINING THE‘ MINIMUM VIABLE INFRASTRUCTURE ENVELOPE’ REQUIRED TO SUPPORT FUTURE QUANTUM-CLASSICAL COMPUTING INTEGRATION WITHIN MODERN DATA CENTRES.
Computing infrastructure is becoming an increasingly relevant focus for the data centre industry. As AI, HPC and quantum systems continue to converge, operators need to start preparing their infrastructure for future compatibility today. Our partnership with NUS CDE allows us to establish the right technical foundations early, while maintaining flexibility as the pace and direction of quantum adoption continue to evolve. The research will also provide valuable insights that can support the future development and optimisation of our existing and future data centre projects in Southeast Asia.”
As global standards for quantumclassical infrastructure continue to evolve, the collaboration is also expected to have a positive impact beyond BW Digital’ s own portfolio.
