Aolani collaborates with NVIDIA to expand AI factory infrastructure across SE Asia
Aolani, a Singapore-founded AI cloud powering AI growth, has announced the signing of a strategic compute collaboration with NVIDIA. The collaboration marks a major milestone that will significantly boost Southeast Asia’ s profile in the global AI ecosystem.
By combining Aolani’ s capabilities and NVIDIA’ s technology, the strategic collaboration will unlock financing that will further accelerate and democratise access to AI compute in Asia for global AI natives, sovereigns and local enterprises and SMEs.
This collaboration brings Aolani’ s total AI factory capacity to more than 100 MW. 22,000 GPUs are expected to be deployed across two AI factories in Malaysia and the Philippines in early 2027. This will bring Aolani’ s total deployment to over 48,000 GPUs.
An NVIDIA Cloud Partner since 2023, Aolani will be deploying NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs, a leading AI system designed to help organisations build and scale advanced AI workloads today.
Aolani will deliver NVIDIA-powered cloud services to AI-native companies, enterprises, startups, developers and institutions across Southeast Asia. A revenue-sharing and credit-support model will align infrastructure deployment with customer demand, helping broaden access to large-scale accelerated computing while giving Aolani a capital-efficient path to scale its AI factories across the region.
Convera and JustLogin to enable cross-border payroll and payments across Singapore and SE Asia
Convera, a global leader in commercial payments, and
JustLogin, an AI-Powered Singapore-based human resource cloud platform, have announced a partnership that brings embedded cross-border payroll and business payment capabilities directly into the HR workflows.
The partnership is designed to support companies operating and expanding across Singapore and Southeast Asia where hiring, managing and paying teams across multiple countries and currencies is now a prerequisite for regional growth. Through the integration, JustLogin customers will be able to initiate payroll and employee-related payments in up to 16 currencies from within the JustLogin platform, while Convera manages the underlying cross-border payment execution.
The result will be faster salary disbursement, improved visibility and reduced operational complexity for companies managing distributed workforces across the region.
“ Growing companies should not have to choose between regional expansion and payroll confidence,” said Patrick Gauthier, Group CEO of Convera.“ By embedding Convera’ s global payments capabilities directly into JustLogin’ s HR platform, we’ re making it easier for businesses to hire, pay and scale across Southeast Asia with greater speed, visibility and control. This partnership reflects a broader shift we’ re seeing in the market, as payments become more deeply embedded into the platforms businesses already use to run their operations.”
As businesses across Southeast Asia build more distributed and regional workforces, payroll is becoming more than an administrative function. It is increasingly connected to employee experience, operational resilience and the ability to expand into new markets with confidence. The Convera and JustLogin partnership brings together HR technology and embedded financial services to help businesses manage this complexity through a single, integrated experience. •
