Imperial College London opens first research centre in Singapore

The centre aims to establish Singapore as a global leader in health cybersecurity and AI for healthcare.

The Imperial College London has launched its first overseas research and innovation centre in Singapore to bolster collaboration between the UK and Singapore.

The centre will work with university, industry, government, and third-sector partners in Singapore.

The first research programme hosted by the new centre is a collaboration with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) worth $20m.

The programme is called IN-CYPHER and is designed to establish Singapore as a global leader in health cybersecurity and AI for healthcare to bolster research and funding in said areas.

The centre and university partners will provide cutting-edge laboratories to Imperial staff and PhD students which will be used to research major global challenges such as pandemic preparedness, climate, net zero transitions, and AI.

The centre will also enable Imperial to expand activity in the region such as entrepreneurship programmes, startup accelerators, student placements, and new technology programmes.

The research centre will be based at the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF) Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE).

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
