SLiquid Global: All-in-One Liquid Cooling Ecosystem

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2025 – On July 16, Data Center Asia 2025 officially opened in Hong Kong. As an innovation practitioner in the field of liquid cooling, SLiquid Global made a significant appearance at the event, unveiling its latest innovations. In addition to delivering a keynote speech at the main forum, the company showcased a range of groundbreaking technologies in the liquid cooling space, including phase-change immersion liquid cooling servers, new generation of liquid-cooling data center overall solution, and cold plate-integrated air-liquid hybrid cooling data center solution. SLiquid Global:All-in-One Liquid Cooling Ecosystem These cutting-edge offerings attracted widespread attention on-site and quickly became one of the highlights of the exhibition. At the event, Dr. Teny Zhang, CTO of SLiquid Global, shared his insights on the strategic importance of liquid cooling in light of current industry trends. He emphasized that liquid cooling is not just equipment — it is a full-lifecycle service encompassing system planning, product delivery, and operation & maintenance. Building on this perspective, SLiquid Global has put forward a new service philosophy: All-in-One Liquid Cooling Ecosystem. Liquid Cooling is Imperative With the rapid development of technologies such as large-scale AI models and high-density computing, computing power demand continues to surge. According to industry data, global data center installed capacity reached 46 GW by the end of 2023 and is projected to grow to 87 GW by 2027. Behind this accelerating expansion of computing power lies the parallel rise of energy consumption and thermal management challenges. As chip design continues to evolve toward higher density and power consumption, traditional air cooling systems are reaching their thermal limits. High energy consumption, low space utilization, excessive noise, and elevated failure rates are making it increasingly difficult for air cooling to meet the growing demands of next-generation data centers in terms of performance, energy efficiency, and reliability. In contrast, liquid cooling offers significantly higher thermal conductivity, enabling greater computing power deployment within the same physical footprint. It also substantially reduces the energy consumption of auxiliary components such as fans, contributing directly to green energy and sustainability goals. This represents not only a leap forward in technology but also a reflection of the new expectations for energy efficiency, security, and operational stability within computing infrastructure. The value of liquid cooling is shifting from “efficient heat dissipation” to a strategic enabler of modern data center operations. From “Cold Equipment” to “Warm Services”: Building a Full-Lifecycle Liquid Cooling Ecosystem While liquid cooling presents promising prospects, it still faces significant challenges in real-world implementation — from planning and design to deployment. These include difficulty in matching server specifications, a disconnect between design institute experience and liquid cooling requirements, conflicts between liquid cooling systems and traditional HVAC concepts, and the lack of industry-standardized guidelines. To address these issues, SLiquid Global actively champions the concept of all-in-one liquid cooling ecosystem by offering a one-stop, end-to-end delivery system encompassing system planning, detailed design, product delivery and operation & maintenance. This ecosystem launches new customized services for the full-lifecycle of liquid cooling data centers. This comprehensive service model covers everything from early-stage requirement analysis, architecture planning, and thermal distribution design to mid-stage system integration, production delivery, and installation commissioning; and finally to post-deployment services such as operations training, water quality management, and O&M to ensure system stability. SLiquid Global has built a closed-loop liquid cooling service ecosystem. At the core of this ecosystem is the company’s proprietary SLiquid Intelligent O&M Platform, which enables a shift from manual operations to intelligent monitoring. The platform integrates key capabilities including real-time system monitoring, fault prediction, and energy efficiency optimization — significantly enhancing the stability and operational efficiency of liquid cooling infrastructure. SLiquid Global has made strategic investments in the development of liquid cooling technology. With profound technological innovation achievements and solid engineering expertise, the company has established itself as an active innovator and practitioner in liquid cooling research and development. Notably, it has played a critical role in driving the technology’s progression from proof-of-concept to large-scale commercial implementation, relying on its robust technical solution portfolio and powerful service capabilities in the field. Liquid cooling is more than just equipment — it represents a fundamental shift in service philosophy. Hashtag: #SLiquidGlobal The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

ST Engineering to Record $80 Million One-Off Gain From SPTel Divestment

Singapore Technologies Engineering and Singapore Power have agreed to sell their broadband joint venture SPTel to private equity firm Seraya Partners for an enterprise value of $290 million. Established in 1997 by Singapore Power, SPTel saw ST Engineering acquire a 51 per cent stake in May 2017. Seraya Partners, which manages assets worth US$1.8 billion according to its website, focuses on infrastructure investments across Asia. In a joint statement issued on 17 July, ST Engineering and SP said the transaction would allow SPTel to expand under new ownership with a primary mandate to invest in and grow digital infrastructure platforms. “With this strategic alignment, SPTel will be better placed to scale and provide a more diverse network in Singapore,” the companies stated. ST Engineering expects to book a one-off gain of approximately $80 million from the divestment, based on SPTel’s carrying value of around $65 million. The group confirmed the deal would not have a material impact on its net tangible assets or earnings for the current financial year. The agreed price represents an implied EV/revenue multiple of 4.1 times and EV/EBITDA multiple of 21.4 times, based on SPTel’s revenue and EBITDA for the year ended December 2024. Additionally, the sellers could receive an earn-out payment of up to $15 million if certain return thresholds for the buyer are met. SPTel recorded revenue of $72 million and a net loss of $4 million for the year ended December 2024. The proposed transaction is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary regulatory approvals. This divestment follows ST Engineering’s recent announcement to sell its US-based construction machinery unit, Leeboy, for US$290 million. On 16 July, ST Engineering shares closed at $8.34, rising 0.12 per cent. The stock remains the top-performing component of the Straits Times Index so far this year, registering a gain of nearly 80 per cent. -The Edge

Huawei Reclaims Leadership in China’s Smartphone Market

Huawei has regained its position as the leading smartphone maker in China for the first time in over four years, surpassing US rival Apple and domestic brands including Xiaomi, according to data from the US-based International Data Corporation (IDC). The Shenzhen-based technology giant captured an 18.1 per cent share of China’s smartphone market in the second quarter of this year, with shipments reaching 12.5 million units, IDC reported on Tuesday. Huawei’s resurgence comes despite years of pressure from US export controls, Western bans, and a graft investigation in Belgium. The company has been at the centre of geopolitical tensions between the world’s two largest economies after Washington alleged its equipment could be used for espionage by Beijing, a charge the company has repeatedly denied. China’s broader smartphone market contracted after six consecutive quarters of growth. IDC data showed total shipments fell four per cent year on year to 69 million units in the second quarter. “Despite the recent US-China trade truce, the broader economic environment presents ongoing challenges, with consumer confidence remaining subdued,” said Arthur Guo, senior research analyst at IDC. “This suggests that a significant uplift in smartphone demand is unlikely in the immediate term, and the market will navigate a more complex landscape in the second half of the year.” Apple, meanwhile, experienced a slowdown in iPhone sales in China and last year lost its title as the country’s best-selling smartphone brand to two local competitors. The California-based firm ranked fifth in the IDC report, with a 13.9 per cent market share and 9.6 million units shipped. China’s economy expanded by more than five per cent in the second quarter, according to official data, even as the fallout from tariff disputes with the United States weighed on consumer sentiment. -AFP

Indonesia Enforces Income Tax Collection by eCommerce Platforms

Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance has introduced a regulation requiring eCommerce platforms to collect income tax from sellers, as part of efforts to enhance tax compliance among online merchants. Effective from 14 July, the new directive mandates online marketplaces operating in the country to withhold and remit a 0.5 per cent income tax on sellers with annual earnings exceeding 500 million rupiah. Prominent platforms affected by the regulation include TikTok Shop and Tokopedia, both under China’s ByteDance, Shopee owned by Singapore’s Sea Ltd, Lazada of Alibaba Group, and Blibli operated by Global Digital Niaga, a subsidiary of Indonesia’s Djarum Group. The regulation exempts specific categories of sellers such as courier services, mobile credit vendors and jewellery traders. Under the framework, online merchants are obliged to submit their sales invoice details to their respective eCommerce platforms, which will relay the information to Indonesia’s Tax Directorate General. Although the rule took immediate effect, eCommerce operators have been granted a one-month grace period to achieve full compliance. Rosmauli, spokesperson for the Tax Directorate General, noted that the regulation was implemented in response to a significant surge in online marketplace transactions across Indonesia. This trend, she highlighted, was accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic and further supported by widespread smartphone adoption, rising Internet penetration and innovations in financial technology that have simplified online transactions. “Therefore, regulation that simplifies tax administration is necessary, particularly for businesses transacting via electronic systems,” Rosmauli said on Monday, as reported by Antara. She emphasised that the initiative also seeks to establish a level playing field between digital and traditional businesses. Similar measures have already been adopted in countries such as Mexico, India, the Philippines and Turkiye. -The Jakarta Post

Haloje Delivery Expands Into Singapore After Strengthening Indonesian Presence

Malaysia-based delivery platform Haloje Delivery is set to enter the Singapore market next month, building on its recent expansion into Indonesia as part of a broader strategy to reinforce its Southeast Asian footprint. Operated by Techzilla Global Solution Sdn Bhd, the platform is positioning itself to capitalise on Singapore’s reputation as a logistics and digital hub, which founder and director Jalluddin Abu Hassan described as a strategic choice for its next phase of growth. “Singapore is a mature and competitive market, which makes it ideal for testing and refining our service offerings. We will tailor our services to local needs, focusing on efficiency, punctuality, and technology integration,” Jalluddin told Bernama. Haloje Delivery is also targeting niche cross-border delivery services between Johor Bahru and Singapore, aiming to address a segment that remains underserved by larger platforms. In Indonesia, the company’s subsidiary PT Haloje Delivery Indonesia signed a memorandum of understanding earlier this month with Persatuan Ummat Islam, an organisation with more than 20 million members, to support the development of the digital economy within local communities. Having launched in late 2024 in Bekasi, West Java, approximately 20 kilometres east of central Jakarta, Haloje Delivery currently offers a range of services including food delivery, courier services, medicine delivery, groceries, and mobile prepaid credit top-ups. “Our approach in Indonesia is highly community-based, working closely with local organisations and entrepreneurs to ensure alignment with on-the-ground needs,” Jalluddin said. The company’s regional expansion efforts are supported by the Malaysia Digital X-Port Grant Programme under the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), which is designed to help Malaysian technology companies scale globally. While operations in Malaysia have already achieved profitability, Jalluddin emphasised that the company is continuing to reinvest in technology, marketing, and talent to drive growth. He revealed that RM800,000 has been invested in Indonesia and RM200,000 in Singapore to date, with active efforts underway to secure additional funding from investors and strategic partners. “We are seeking partners who can offer not just capital, but also strategic value to accelerate our growth across ASEAN,” he said. Established in 2018, Haloje Delivery has been downloaded over 1.6 million times, initially focusing on rural and suburban areas in Malaysia before expanding into urban markets. The platform now holds Malaysia Digital Status and is a key partner in MDEC’s eRezeki programme, a national initiative aimed at empowering lower-income groups by enabling them to earn additional income through digital work. Jalluddin underscored Haloje Delivery’s ambition to become the leading community-based delivery platform in ASEAN, describing Indonesia and Singapore as critical markets due to their high growth potential and advanced digital readiness. -Bernama
