SUMMARY

ASEAN is navigating a significant transition from being a region of digital consumption to one of digital infrastructure formation.
As global supply chains reconfigure, the ASEAN-6 economies are positioning themselves as critical nodes in the global artificial intelligence (AI) and compute ecosystem. This shift is driven by the recognition of computing infrastructure not merely as a utility, but as a strategic asset essential for national competitiveness and economic resilience.
The region’s evolution is occurring against a backdrop of geopolitical diversification, often described as the China Plus One strategy, where multinational enterprises seek to diversify their production and digital footprints.
