What bleeding edge infra work is going on in other countries?

Seems like most interesting scaling/infra work is going on at places like Google and Facebook in the US, and with branches of a few US companies and a lab or two (academic stuff tends to either be impractical or too far into the future) in other countries. What else is there?

But here's something you don't consider everyday - govt tech programs. India has a project to provide biometric authentication to it's entire population of 1.2 billion, and make a Boolean check highly available via online APIs. Indian Railways gets more qps than many big US tech companies can boat of, and those qps are almost always transactional in nature.
