Recently acknowledged World's Best Digital Bank DBS opened the doors of DBS Asia X (DAX), a 16,000 sq ft innovation space that has project pods and spaces, journey rooms, co-working spaces for up to 100 people as well as an auditorium and cafe.

The innovation facility is located at the Sandcrawler Building in Fusionopolis.
