Dassault Systèmes to Establish Industrial AI Virtual Twin Lab in Singapore to Support ASEAN Businesses

The company signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) on November 11, 2026, to establish the regional facility. The lab will support businesses in adopting industrial AI and virtual twin technologies.

Lab to Create More Than 30 Skilled Jobs

The new lab plans to hire more than 30 skilled professionals within its first five years. The team will include specialists in AI engineering, virtual twin development, software systems design, and industry consulting.

The initiative aims to strengthen Singapore's industrial AI capabilities while creating high-value employment opportunities. It will also use Singapore's digital infrastructure and skilled workforce to support technology development across ASEAN markets.

Focus on AI and Virtual Twin Technology

The lab will combine artificial intelligence, engineering expertise, and simulation technologies through Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

One of its key objectives will be to help ASEAN businesses design AI data centres and improve energy efficiency. It will also develop reusable tools to accelerate the deployment of 3D UNIV+RSES, the company's next-generation virtual twin technology.

These virtual twins combine physics-based AI, modelling, real-time simulation, and data science to help businesses develop and test industrial solutions.

Singapore Supports Industrial AI Development

Cindy Koh, Executive Vice-President of the Singapore Economic Development Board, said the initiative supports Singapore's ambition under the National AI Mission for Advanced Manufacturing to become a leading industrial AI hub.

Samson Khaou, Executive Vice-President for Asia Pacific at Dassault Systèmes, said the lab would use Singapore's AI capabilities to develop solutions suited to regional requirements and accelerate their adoption across ASEAN.
