DC27 – WDS Awards & Gala Night
An Evening to Celebrate the Revolution
Where Infrastructure Meets Recognition.Where Leaders Shape What’s Next.
The DC27 Awards shine a spotlight on the organisations, visionary leaders and technology
pioneers transforming the data-centre industry—from infrastructure ambition into measurable performance,
resilience, efficiency and growth.
From breakthrough AI-ready infrastructure and next-generation cooling to
critical power, sustainable operations, digital transformation and landmark data-centre deployments, the
Awards recognise those making a meaningful contribution to Vietnam’s rapidly evolving data-centre ecosystem
and the wider Asian digital infrastructure landscape.
As the Summit moves from insight to recognition and celebration, the
World Datacentre Gala Night brings together an exclusive community of C-suite executives, data-centre
owners, operators, developers, infrastructure leaders, technology innovators, investors and ecosystem
partners for an evening dedicated to recognition, connection and celebration.
With 100+ senior data-centre and digital infrastructure decision-makers
under one roof, the Gala creates a high-value environment for strategic conversations, relationship building
and networking beyond the conference floor.

Vietnam’s$1.26 BillionData Center Market:Building Southeast Asia’s Next Digital Infrastructure Hub
: Building Southeast Asia’s Next Digital Infrastructure Hub.Its competitive proposition combines cost-efficient development, a rapidly expanding digital economy, AI
demand, cloud adoption, semiconductor ambitions and a growing domestic technology ecosystem. Latest Vietnam
research describes data centres as an increasingly important high-tech real-estate investment class. Current
operational capacity is around 104 MW, with research projecting a 5.6-fold increase from this base by 2030.
Development costs are estimated at approximately US$7 million/MW, substantially below established Tier-1
markets such as Singapore and Tokyo.
