Event brief

South Korea has long been a leader in digital infrastructure and innovation in Asia Pacific, with some of the fastest internet speeds in the region coupled with widespread adoption of new technologies like 5G & IoT. This technological incubation has propelled Korea to be one of the top 5 Data Center markets in Asia in terms of revenue. Over the past few years, South Korea has seen an acceleration in data center investments from global tech giants and data center providers, with even more expected from the mounting requirements brought by the demand for cloud services and mobile technology–markets set to exceed 3 trillion won in value this year. To keep up with this demand, the data center sector is expanding to offer new facilities. Join the IT & Datacenter community of Korea to see this development in action as we break ground for the Hanam Igis Data Center this 26th October, 2021. This 1 hour event will give you an inside look into how digital infrastructure is shaping the future of the Korean economy, as well as granting you the opportunity to hear from industry experts on the future prospects for investment and speculation in the Korean Data Center Market.
