NUS VÀ IBM ra mắt trung tâm nghiên cứu & đổi mới

The IBM-NUS Research and Innovation Centre was launched on 23 October 2025 with Mrs Josephine Teo, Minister for Digital Development and Information and Minister-in-charge of Cybersecurity & Smart Nation Group, as Guest-of-Honour.

“The establishment of the IBM–NUS Research and Innovation Centre is a strategic commitment to cutting-edge Research and Development with responsible engineering and real-world applications. This partnership combines NUS’ deep research strengths with IBM’s industrial research expertise and enterprise-scale technology, accelerating the development of solutions that deliver meaningful societal and economic impact in many key areas,” said Professor Liu Bin, NUS Deputy President (Research and Technology).

The IBM–NUS Research and Innovation Centre will collaborate on various projects to accelerate scientific research leveraging IBM’s full-stack AI infrastructure and a selection of open-source models, including IBM’s flagship series of Granite models. The Centre harnesses NUS’ strong and extensive expertise in AI such as advanced microelectronics where innovations will accelerate AI systems from the chip up, as well as IBM’s Spyre accelerator chip, for use cases and applications such as in weather modelling and prediction, sustainable urban development, and security.

The Centre also aims to serve as an open innovation platform for Singapore agencies, academic and research institutions, as well as companies to jointly conduct cutting-edge AI research with significant translational potential.

“We believe that we cannot achieve success with sustainable AI with proprietary technologies behind closed doors controlled by a few. The challenges are too complex, the stakes are too high and the need for collaboration is extremely urgent. The IBM-NUS partnership is a great, extraordinary opportunity to create such a community right here in Singapore. I believe that the talent in NUS, vibrant startup ecosystem and supportive government policies create ideal conditions for certain ecosystems to be established and to thrive,” said Dr Priya Nagpurkar, Vice President, Hybrid Cloud and AI Platform, IBM.
