Across the Asia-Pacific region, governments are increasingly stepping in to accelerate AI adoption via infrastructure investment and ecosystem development. In countries including South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, state-backed initiatives are facilitating data-sovereignty frameworks, cloud expansions and development of “neocloud” platforms tailored to local enterprise needs. Enterprise demand for generative AI, agentic systems and automated workflows is cited as a key driver. Observers say this build-out may shift the balance of AI infrastructure globally and bring new players into the ecosystem beyond the U.S. cloud giants.
