Equinix Opens $290M SG6 Singapore Data Center for AI Workloads

Redwood City – November 06, 2026 -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX) has opened SG6, its sixth International Business Exchange (IBX) data center in Singapore, with an initial investment of approximately $290 million. The first phase delivers 8 MW of capacity and roughly 1,550 cabinets, and full build-out will reach up to 20 MW of IT capacity.

SG6 targets high-density GPU deployments with liquid cooling

The facility is designed for AI, high-performance computing and data-intensive workloads. It uses proprietary cooling systems and liquid-cooling capabilities built to accommodate power-intensive GPU infrastructure.

SG6 is among the first data centers developed under Singapore's Data Centre Call for Application framework. It adds to Equinix's global footprint of more than 280 data centers.

NUS Magnetic Pulse Therapy Eradicates Tumors in 75% of Preclinical Trials

Singapore – September 17, 2026 -- Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have eradicated tumours in 75 per cent of tested preclinical models using pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) alone, without chemotherapy, after just four 30-minute sessions. The study, led by Associate Professor Alfredo Franco-Obregón of the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, was published in the journal Smart Medicine on September 17, 2026.

PEMF device already cleared Phase 1 human safety trials

The same PEMF device used in the study has completed Phase 1 clinical trials, confirming its safety in humans. The NUS team is now seeking partners to fund and conduct Phase 2 efficacy trials to evaluate treatment performance in patients.
