PDG’s Bold $700M Move to Power Next-Gen AI Infrastructure in South Korea

Princeton Digital Group (PDG), a leading pan-Asia data center operator, has made a major market entry in South Korea with a $700 million investment in state-of-the-art data center infrastructure. The company revealed plans to develop an initial 48 MW hyperscale data center campus in Incheon, designed explicitly for AI workloads and high-density computing needs.

Chairman, CEO, and Co-founder Rangu Salgame emphasized South Korea’s strategic importance as one of APAC’s most advanced digital economies and a vital hub for global hyperscalers. PDG’s expansion furthers its commitment to delivering AI-ready infrastructure, aligned with aggressive growth plans across Asia, including India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Japan.

The project will utilize advanced cooling systems, high energy efficiency technologies, and Net Zero by 2030 sustainability goals, reflecting PDG’s environmental commitments. The Incheon campus is expected to scale over time to 500 MW capacity spread across multiple sites, supporting cloud service providers and AI operators’ increasing infrastructure needs.
