Johnson Controls is investing up to US$60 million to expand its Innovation Centre in Singapore. The investment will accelerate the development of sustainable, next-generation cooling and automation technologies amid surging demand for energy-efficient infrastructure driven by AI and cloud adoption across the region.
Over the next five years, the company plans to grow its Singapore-based engineering teams to around 100 roles, strengthening expertise in thermal management, advanced cooling prototypes, smart connectivity, and cybersecurity.
The expanded facility will serve as a key hub for testing and co-developing sustainable data centre solutions with ecosystem partners to support regional hyperscale and colocation growth.
“The expansion of our Innovation Centre in Singapore is key in helping hyperscalers and colocation providers achieve their carbon reduction goals while ensuring performance at scale,” said Anu Rathninde (top), President of Asia Pacific at Johnson Controls.
“Johnson Controls’ latest expansion of its innovation centre adds new capabilities and jobs in sustainable building solutions in Singapore, for which data centre is a key growth area,” said Cindy Koh, Executive Vice President of Singapore Economic Development Board.
