In September 2026, the CCIEE Data Center Intelligent Construction Technology Forum in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, addressed the rapid growth of the global computing power market. The forum emphasized intelligent construction, modular rapid delivery, and green computing power, identifying Southeast Asia as a primary growth pole for data center construction. Building on these infrastructure needs, the upcoming 15th International Energy Storage Summit and Exhibition (ESIE 2027) in Beijing will introduce a dedicated section for Artificial Intelligence Data Center (AIDC) energy storage. This new sector aims to address high-power and high-reliability requirements driven by AI large models, covering the supply chain from cabinet-level backup power to park-level energy storage. This shift aligns with Chinese policy trends toward “computing-power and electricity synergy,” which promotes the integration of AI infrastructure with green energy. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-26: Hong Kong hosts major green technology and mobile communications expos Hong Kong is hosting major industry events, including the 21st Eco Expo Asia and a large-scale HKICEC mobile communications pavilion, highlighting green technology and global electronics trade. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/esie-2027-to-introduce-aidc-energy-storage-sector-in-beijing ### 2026-10-10: CCIEE Forum in Malaysia addresses data center construction technology The CCIEE 2026 Data Center Intelligent Construction Technology Forum in Malaysia focused on the rapid growth of computing power and the expansion of digital infrastructure in Southeast Asia. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cciee-forum-in-malaysia-addresses-data-center-construction-technology --- Cite as: Data center and energy infrastructure development.
