A Key Milestone in Our Global Expansion
We’re thrilled to share that we hosted our first events at our newly established research and development lab in Taiwan during COMPUTEX 2025. This marks a major step forward in our mission to redefine what datacenters can be, not only in Europe but around the world.
This new facility is part of our broader expansion strategy to deepen our range of action, bring next-generation solutions closer to regional markets, and offer testing and validation services to our closest immersion partners from each of the technology verticals. With it, we’re positioning ourselves to deliver more agile, localized innovation that drives real value for our customers.
At the heart of this lab lies our commitment to excellence in liquid cooling technologies. From chip to Pod, our Taiwan lab enables us to rigorously test and optimize every component for performance, efficiency, and sustainability. Our goal is clear: to lead the R&D space for liquid cooling and ensure our solutions are future-proof.
On the compute side, Gigabyte and Compal will help us enlarge the immersion catalogue and reliability of our hardware solutions. These collaborations are vital to accelerating innovation and offering a robust, trustworthy product portfolio to our clients.

This lab also reinforces our continued investment in the APAC region, aligning with our core belief that datacentres should make sense, environmentally, operationally, and economically, wherever they operate. Under the Regional leadership of Asanka Da Silva, we are confident that this facility will become a hub for cutting-edge development and regional impact. As part of this new chapter, we’re pleased to have Castrol BP present, reinforcing our ongoing global partnership as we continue to grow and expand in key regions.
We’re just getting started, and Taiwan marks a significant chapter in a much bigger global story.
