Eric Fan on Bridge Data Centres’ Hyperscale Focus in APAC

Eric Fan arrived in the data centre sector four years ago, after building his career in engineering and executive roles at Honeywell, Dow Chemical and Saint-Gobain. 

Now, as CEO of Bridge Data Centres (BDC), he leads a business that has grown from under 100MW of capacity to five or six times that size across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the past three years.

BDC operates as part of Bain Capital's infrastructure portfolio, functioning as the private equity firm's APAC platform. The company is headquartered in Singapore and operates facilities in Malaysia, Thailand, India and other APAC markets.

The company is positioning itself as a next-generation infrastructure provider built for the era of AI-driven computing. 

With hyperscale demand accelerating across the APAC region, it is doubling down on ESG-aligned operational efficiency, proprietary cooling innovation and rapid deployment models. 

The mission is to convert electricity into reliable, low-carbon computing power at scale – delivered through standardised, modular and highly engineered facilities capable of supporting AI and liquid-cooling workloads. 

The company’s drive is strategic and BDC aims to set a new industry benchmark for sustainable hyperscale growth, while ensuring APAC’s digital ecosystem has an inexhaustible foundation of computing power.
