Supported
by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), the Hub brings together data
scientists, solution architects, software engineers, system experts and domain
specialists from the urban infrastructure, industrial and healthcare sectors.
These professionals will experiment, learn, develop and test-bed innovations
and future-ready digital solutions that help businesses become more efficient
and sustainable.

An
integral part of the Digitalization Hub concept is MindSphere, an open,
cloud-based IoT operating system that offers data analytics, connectivity
capabilities and tools for developers, applications and services. This platform
helps evaluate and process
data to gain insights and optimize asset performance for maximized
productivity.
