Singapore’s next frontier : Supercharging AI via the world’s most reliable launchpad
Where else can you watch autonomous cranes at the port in the morning, debate AI risk with regulators after lunch, and meet three sovereign wealth funds in the lift back to your hotel room?

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.
