Hong Kong, July 21: Data Center Asia (DCA) debuts today at AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong, marking the exciting launch of a new force in the APAC data center landscape. Built on the proven success of the Data Center World event in the United States, DCA brings global expertise to Asia while tailoring the experience to meet the needs of regional markets. Starting with its flagship edition in Hong Kong — the gateway to Greater China and Northeast Asia — the series will move on to Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur in Southeast Asia, creating a truly connected platform for Asia’s data center ecosystem.
All-in-One Solution Showcase and Knowledge Hub
The inaugural edition brings together over 200 brands from across China, Singapore, Japan, the United States and beyond.

A standout feature is the MATRADE Pavilion, showcasing cutting-edge digital innovations from some of Malaysia’s leading technology companies.
Serving as both an exhibition and an industry think tank, the expo presents five summits and forums over the three days, exploring 12 key themes such as AI, sustainability, cybersecurity, computing advancements and more. More than 100 global thought leaders, researchers and analysts lead curated sessions developed with our content partners, delivering data-driven insights to inform real-world decisions.
