Digital Industry Singapore (DISG)

Happy 60th birthday, Singapore 🇸🇬 As we mark #SG60, EDB would like to thank our companies and industry partners for their contributions to driving sustainable growth and creating good job and business opportunities here. Wishing our friends and fellow Singaporeans a very happy National Day!

Microsoft has launched Microsoft Research Asia – Singapore (MSRA Singapore), its first research lab in SEA, to advance cutting-edge #AI research and co-innovate AI solutions for key industries. As one of the world’s leading companies in AI research, Microsoft Research will deepen its collaboration with local industry, academic, and #research partners to co-develop AI solutions in healthcare, logistics, and finance, while advancing frontier research and responsible AI. One of the MSRA Singapore’s first focus areas is healthcare, and it is partnering SingHealth and A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research to advance precision health – leveraging clinical data and expertise to develop AI capabilities for delivering personalised analyses and enhanced diagnostic accuracy to enable better patient outcomes. Microsoft is also supporting Singapore’s efforts to build a world-class AI #talent pool. Through partnerships with National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University Singapore, and Singapore Management University, the lab will offer hands-on experience to train future researchers. This includes nurturing PhD students through initiatives like EDB’s Industrial Postgraduate Programme, as well as joint workshops and summer schools to deepen academic exchange and strengthen our research ecosystem. MSRA Singapore marks a new chapter in Microsoft’s 35-year partnership with Singapore. Peter Lee, President at Microsoft Research, says, “[Singapore’s] leadership in science, engineering, and digital governance, along with its strong culture of public-private-academic collaboration, makes it an ideal environment for advancing inclusive and impactful AI.” 🔗 Learn how Microsoft is driving breakthrough AI research from Singapore: https://lnkd.in/g-iFsnT8

It’s a wrap! Asia Tech x Singapore has grown to be quite the tech focal point in Asia and around the world. The numbers perhaps give a sense. 25,000 participants from 110 countries at our broader ATxEnterprise. And at our cosier ATxSummit, 3,500 thought leaders from over 60 countries 🇸🇬 All gathered in one place, in Singapore. There is significant optimism and a sense that things are moving very quickly. A sense that the conversation has matured, and questions have turned to concretely tapping the opportunities, and deploying tech responsibly. A sense that the world is coming together, whatever the group. Governments, founders, researchers, platforms — in fact across these groups. The buzz along the corridors and the extensive engagements and networking reflects that. To all our speakers, delegates, and partners — thank you for showing up with such generosity and insight. You’ve made it a space for real exchange and momentum. Most importantly, Team IMDA. A big thank you for making this a success. So much of what happens on Stage or in a Roundtable, begins with that deliberateness and care behind the scenes, long before it actually happens. Thinking through the zeitgeist, putting together a thoughtful panel, making the connections between people. When we started 5 years ago (first two during COVID), we had the (audacity?) to consider the potential of having a “Digital Davos”. Cause technology is such an important part of Singapore and the world, and we can do so much to shape that Digital Future. I think everyone who was here, caught a glimpse of that. Thank you for bringing that heart and effort, and for believing in this ambition. We’re just getting started. Here’s to ATxSG and to shaping that digital future. #IMDA #IMDigitalArchitect #ATxSG #ATxSummit #RedefiningTech
