As one of the tech-savviest smart cities in the world, Singapore serves as a hotbed for start-ups and entrepreneurs alike. Our vibrant start-up ecosystem attracts talents from different ends of the world and has gone from strength to strength over the recent years making it an ideal destination for fostering innovation and creativity.
Based in Paris at STATION F — the world’s biggest start-up campus — the Ubisoft Entrepreneurs Lab is a program designed to support entrepreneurs and start-ups with access to world-class facilities and expert assistance. The program has now ventured into the Southeast Asia region for the first time, settling into its newest home at Singapore’s PIXEL innovation space (just a 5-minute walk from our studio!).
