IDA unveils first high-tech Labs facility in the heartlands

It’s located at the Jurong Regional Library.

The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) has teamed up with the National Library Board (NLB) to open the third IDA Labs facility, and the first in a heartlands location, at Jurong Regional Library (JRL).

This collaboration is also the first dedicated space sited in a public library in Singapore that encourages hands-on experimentation and creation as a new way of learning.

Through the facility, visitors at the JRL can gain exposure to and borrow maker kits such as Arduino to tinker and create, as well as network and exchange skills with like-minded individuals.

Occupying 135 sqm on the second floor of the library, the IDA Labs@NLB will house equipment such as 3D printers as well as curated technology kits for limited public use

The Labs will open from Wednesdays to Sundays, 12pm to 8.30pm.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
