Singapore’s next frontier : Supercharging AI via the world’s most reliable launchpad

MY FIRST Formula One weekend in Singapore was a masterclass in operational precision. When the chequered flag dropped, tens of thousands of people were funnelled on to spotless MRT platforms in minutes – no gridlock, no fuss. That same logistical magic persuaded us to relocate TOKEN2049 from Hong Kong to Singapore in 2022, hosting the event at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) and running it back-to-back with the Grand Prix.

The move was quickly vindicated: MBS supplied efficiency, scale and convenience in abundance, while Singapore showed how East-and-West innovation can thrive under one impeccably-run roof. On that foundation we are now taking an even bolder step – bringing an expanded edition of SuperAI, Asia’s largest frontier-technology gathering, to MBS next month – on June 18-19.

Triple advantage: Infrastructure, integration, and international trust

Hardware and policy statistics tell part of the story – Singapore ranks second in the world for industrial-robot density and was one of the first nations with a National AI Strategy – but they alone miss the lived reality that convinced us this is the right launchpad for advanced AI.
