DHL launches Asia Pacific Innovation Center in Singapore

It’s their first innovation center outside of Germany.

DHL launched its Asia Pacific Innovation Center (APIC) in Singapore, according to a press release by the company. It is DHL’s first innovation center outside of Germany, and the first dedicated center for logistics services in the Asia Pacific region.

The facility is located within the $160m DHL Supply Chain Advanced Regional Center building at Tampines LogisPark.

Launched with the support of the Economic Development Board, the APIC boasts technologies dedicated to optimising logistics operations such as driverless shuttles, delivery drones for time-critical, and vehicles that use machine-to-machine sensors to boost vehicle uptime by 30%.

APIC also serves as a regional platform for collaboration between DHL, customers, partners and independent experts. The center is expected to drive the company’s research on emerging trends in Asian logistics and economic activity.

Visitors can enjoy customized visits with services by APIC such as guided tours, workshops, events and forums.

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.
