    [SINGAPORE] For chip designer Ambiq Micro, doing a secondary listing on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) is part of its pledge to being a global company.

    “So many companies claim to be global, but they are often US-centric,” Ambiq CEO Fumihide Esaka told The Business Times. The secondary listing, he added, is a “reflection of commitment” to Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region.

    Ambiq is currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange, having raised US$96 million in its July 2025 initial public offering.
