Why Singapore?

Singapore’s prime location as the epicenter of the Asia-Pacific regional zone, its focus on productivity and efficiency, Government’s supports, as well as a robust and safe info-technology infrastructure, strategically positions the island state as the perfect place for the convergence of the world’s best talents and companies, and this is evidenced by the set up of offices and studios here by major creative corporations like Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light and Magic, BMW Designworks (only design studio outside of California and Munich) and Philips Design (Asia Pacific’s headquarters).
