SINGAPORE, July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BDx Data Centers ('BDx'), a leading carrier-neutral data center platform in Asia, has launched Southeast Asia's first hybrid quantum AI testbed in collaboration with Anyon Technologies, a global leader in large-scale quantum computing systems. The MoU signing today formalized the collaboration, paving the way for the deployment of the region's first hybrid quantum computer at BDx's flagship SIN1 facility in Paya Lebar, Singapore. This groundbreaking initiative will enable startups, enterprises, and government agencies to explore quantum-enhanced AI applications. Designed to support Singapore's Green 2030 and Smart Nation objectives, the testbed integrates Anyon's quantum computing system with SIN1's cutting-edge infrastructure. 'Staying ahead of the curve has always been part of our DNA at BDx,' said Mayank Srivastava, CEO of BDx. 'Our journey, from deploying the most advanced NVIDIA GPUs across the region to now integrating quantum computing into our data center, reflects our commitment to not just keeping pace with innovation but shaping its future. Together, we are building an open platform that creates new opportunities to unlock the transformative potential of quantum computing.' 'A modern computer today is essentially a whole data center. Deploying a state-of-the-art hybrid quantum computing system at BDx's SIN1 facility marks a transformative step in modern computing infrastructure,' said Dr Jie (Roger) Luo, President and CEO of Anyon Technologies. 'By integrating QPUs (Quantum Processing Units) with CPUs (Central Processing Units) and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), we're enabling breakthroughs in quantum algorithms and applications. This lowers adoption barriers for enterprise customers, like financial institutions in Singapore, to onboard talent and create real, differentiating business value.' Accelerating AI and Quantum Innovation in Singapore and Beyond BDx's SIN1 facility will serve as a cross-regional AI Hub and Innovation Center, dedicated to supporting high-growth AI startups and government-led innovation initiatives.

Diu set to host inaugral Khelo India Beach Games
After a 12-day stay in Patna for the Youth Games, the Khelo India caravan now moves to Diu for the Beach Games set to kick off on Monday, May 19, on the Ghoghla Beach. Over 1000 athletes, men and women, from 36 States and Union Territories will be participating in six medal events: beach soccer, beach volleyball, sepak takraw, beach kabaddi, pencak silat, and open water swimming. Tug of war and Mallakhamb will be there as demonstration sports. This is the first time that the Beach Games are being held under the Khelo India initiative. Last year, Diu hosted the Games – organised by the local administration of the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Diu and Daman – which saw Madhya Pradesh emerge as the winner. 'Every Khelo India event is a new opportunity for young boys and girls. Not just a sports platform, Khelo India events showcase the nation's capability to stage a repertoire of sports. Not just spotting talent, Khelo India is also generating awareness on sports and fitness,' said Mayank Srivastava, the Deputy Director General of the Sports Authority of India, ahead of the six-day tournament.
