An update on my current research project with Dr Winston Chow (Singapore Management University) and Dr Felicia Liu (University of York) on green fintech and data centres (DC) in Singapore. In this interdisciplinary project, we examine the economic, environmental, and regulatory dimensions of sustainable DC futures in Singapore, with the view of identifying transferable lessons to the rest of Southeast Asia and other tropical geographies. Our interim report on data centres in Singapore is now published and available on the Singapore Green Finance Centre website.
Thanks to interviewees and workshop participants who shared their insights and experience so generously and candidly earlier this year. We look forward to the next phase of research in November 2023 when we will be focusing on financial institutions as both users and investors in data centres. I am also looking forward to attending the 2023 Singapore FinTech Festival, my first in-person attendance since 2019! Please get in touch if you are interested in the research and future findings.
