Irving Tan liked thisIrving Tan liked thisQuantum computing is no longer speculative—it’s becoming an investment priority. (The most comprehensive quantum startup map—V3) In 2023, European quantum startups outpaced North America, raising $781 million (three times the $240 million raised in the US). Globally, quantum startups raised $2.2 billion, a massive jump from $522 million in 2019. This isn’t happening in a vacuum. Governments are fueling the momentum. The UK has committed $4.3 billion to quantum technologies, while Germany has pledged $3.7 billion. At the same time, VC interest is holding steady, even as funding dries up in other tech sectors. Quantum technology will have a wide-reaching impact, from cybersecurity and financial modeling to drug discovery and materials science. Pharma will likely see the earliest impact (drug development and molecular simulations using quantum). In 2022, Finnish startup Algorithmiq raised $4 million for quantum-powered drug discovery, while Paris-based Qubit Pharmaceuticals secured $17 million for molecular simulations. Another European company, Terra Quantum AG, based in Switzerland, raised $75 million to scale its quantum-as-a-service model, which has direct applications in pharma and beyond. Big Tech is also all-in. Google, IBM, Intel Corporation, and NVIDIA are pouring resources into quantum hardware and software. Meanwhile, publicly traded quantum companies have seen their stocks surge, signaling growing institutional confidence. At APEX Ventures, we invest in revolutionary quantum startups. We are partnered with kiutra, enabling the second quantum revolution with easy-to-use and sustainable cryogenics, and planqc, building quantum computers that store information in individual atoms. For founders and investors, the question isn’t whether quantum will matter—it’s when. The trajectory is clear: capital is flowing, enterprise adoption is accelerating, and governments are fully committed. If AI dominated the last decade, quantum may own the next. Huge thanks for the massive support on the last two posts and for your suggestions! #Venturecapital #AI #Deeptech #Startups Follow us at APEX Ventures and subscribe to our newsletter for exclusive content on groundbreaking Deep Tech startups: 🔗 https://t2m.io/EV2qHQuo

Singapore Semiconductor… • 8K followers
The Economic Strategy Review has been a meaningful platform to exchange perspectives and shape recommendations to strengthen Singapore’s economic posture for the long term. In the mid-term update, 7 recommendations were shared on how Singapore can continue to grow our economy and create good jobs for all Singaporeans. Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow highlighted the semiconductor sector as a key growth area – I couldn’t agree more! Semicon continues to be a strategic growth pillar for Singapore. If we want to stay ahead and continue punching above our weight, we must turbo-charge our capabilities, especially in the areas of advanced manufacturing, innovation, cybersecurity, and talent development. I’m also encouraged by the recommendation to establish Singapore as an AI leader with an AI‑empowered economy. At Applied Materials, we are honored to play a part in this journey to enable the manufacturing of chips and systems that make AI possible. We look forward to supporting Singapore’s ambition to lead in this space, and to deepening partnerships to accelerate innovation across the wider ecosystem. Excited for the opportunities ahead!

Major semiconductor investments are encouraging signals of confidence, and their long-term impact is shaped by how well execution follows through. Micron’s continued investment in advanced wafer fabrication in Singapore reflects strong trust in the ecosystem—skills, infrastructure, and operating discipline that have been built over time. Turning that commitment into stable yield and reliable output is where teams on the ground make the real difference. In advanced fabs, progress depends on careful sequencing. Facility readiness, tool installation, process qualification, and workforce capability all need to move in step. When they are aligned early, ramps are smoother and learning cycles shorten. What often enables success during ramp-up is clear governance. Well-defined ownership, escalation paths, and change control help teams respond quickly as conditions evolve, without losing momentum. Data and digital systems support visibility and decision-making, but their value is strongest when accountability and operating rhythms are already clear. Sustained competitiveness in semiconductor manufacturing is built through disciplined execution, carried by capable teams and long-term partnerships. #SemiconductorManufacturing #AdvancedManufacturing #SingaporeIndustry #ExecutionExcellence #OperationsLeadership

Using your voice... ...as the default interface to your devices...is getting close. Flash back to February 2024, Lenovo Hong Kong Techworld. I was hanging out with Alastair next to the Lenovo display and we were talking about future-y things, and I forgot who said it first, but one of us said...picture a world where PCs have no keyboard, and your default interactions with the world aren't keyboard-internet-app. Hmmm. And since then, voice has picked up. ➡️ AI's gain capability, especially multi-lingual and great voice recognition. ➡️ Ambient noise sound suppression, especially on AIPCs, is state of the art and works. ➡️ Lots of apps playing to be in the voice recognition and copilot space - Copilot, Whispr, Elevenlabs on the R&D side, and more. ➡️ AI illuminati like Allie K. Miller post often about the productivity you can get from a voice interface to supercharge writing, podcast content So then the questions, not if but when. And the remaining questions include: ❓ When? 😉 ❓What's the path to voice? Voice - App - Device? Voice - Windows - Device? Voice - Device direct (Lenovo is headed this direction, easier to own your own ecosystem? Other? No ownership of that path is established, yet. ❓How do you manage the related disturbance? No one wants that voice interface on public transit, as a for-instance. ⁉️ And privacy? Phonebooths are making a comeback, and in controlled settings (e.g. offices) voice levels and carry can be managed a few ways - sensitive mics, dividers, etc. But it's still out-loud... ⁉️ And attack vectors? You're speaking your prompts out loud. Something's interpreting it, is that secure?. And then you've got your response, is it out loud too? Queue a whole new set of on-device super-listening devices...if you say it out loud, technically it's public domain... But in the meantine, voice is coming of age. I use it, and it's fantastic. 🙃 Lookout for that PC or phone without a keyboard. Or that pen (not a fan). Or that bangle on the lanyard (let's see, too early to call).

The power of agentic AI in the world of MCUs Integrating a multitude of microcontroller units (MCUs) across diverse domains – from smart homes to industrial factories, vehicles, robotics, and even battlefield IoT – into a unified intelligent system poses significant challenges. These environments are heterogeneous in hardware and require real-time, reliable decision-making. Traditional IoT systems often operate in silos with fixed-function logic, lacking the adaptive reasoning of AI. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) suggest a path toward more general Agentic AI that can reason and coordinate actions across distributed devices. By deploying LLM based agents at the edge (on-site devices like NVIDIA Jetson Orin or Raspberry Pi 5) and using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for standardized context and tool integration, we can design a modular, scalable architecture that connects these MCUs into an intelligent whole. This architecture prioritizes edge-first inference for low latency and privacy #agentic #LLM #MCU #MCP Skymizer

A key takeaway from today’s closing session at Canalys Forum APAC 2025 is how the entire ecosystem — hyperscalers, ISVs, channel partners, and customers — is being reshaped by cloud marketplaces and AI. Hyperscalers are driving platform innovation and consumption. ISVs are accelerating go-to-market on the cloud. Channel partners must deeply shift toward co-sell, co-marketing, and marketplace-led engagement. Meanwhile, customers expect simpler purchasing, better financial flexibility, and faster access to innovation. One clear message: those who adapt to the marketplace and AI-driven model will lead; those who hesitate will struggle to stay relevant. A truly insightful session for anyone in the APAC channel and technology ecosystem. #CanalysForumAPAC2025 ##CFAPAC25 #Cloud #AI #ITChannel #Marketplace #DigitalEcosystem

Recently, I have the honour of having Ralph Haupter, President and CRO, Small Medium Enterprises and Channel (SME&C) from Microsoft on post-episode 500, who shared 20+ years of wisdom spanning 56 countries—from running Greater China to building Asia's operations to now leading global SME strategy. It is one of the rare interviews where I can get the insights from an experienced and tenured executive. One question I asked changed my entire perspective: "What's one thing you know about enabling SMEs that very few do?" Ralph's answer: Focused Specialization + Complete Platform Integration. While others see these as contradictory, Microsoft embraces both. Partners specialize deeply (security, data fabric, AI agents), but customers get a complete stack. No four different vendors, four different meetings, four different coffees. The part that resonated most with my own experience as both a former CIO and small business owner? The pit stop metaphor. Your tech stack isn't about having the fastest single component. It's about how quickly and seamlessly everything works together when you need it most—during a security incident, a scaling challenge, or an AI transformation. Here's the BTS photo after our recording. Many thanks to Gustavo Fuchs who offered me the opportunity to do this and Borko Kovacevic from Poddster Singapore This episode will drop immediately at the start of a new era after the publication of Episode 500 of Analyse Asia (which we will have a major announcement) next week.

Artificial intelligence infrastructure investment is accelerating rapidly across the Asia-Pacific region (APAC), with total AI chipset revenues for cloud and data center applications expected to soar from $57 billion in 2025 to $81 billion by 2030, according to Lian Jye Su, chief analyst at Omdia. “The growth is largely driven by investment from China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. All these markets are active in the deployment of hyperscale and sovereign AI data centers,” Jye told RCR Wireless News. Jye noted that governments are playing a key role in shaping investment decisions through AI strategies, data localization policies, and digital sovereignty frameworks. “China is the leading example of this based on its aggressive push for AI sovereignty, which is supported by data and AI regulations, state policies, and massive investments from companies including Alibaba Group and Tencent,” he said. “The ‘AI Plus’ initiative and focus on self-reliance following the April 2025 Politburo meeting show this is a coordinated national strategy, not just corporate competition.” Beyond China, South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam are strengthening their own regulatory frameworks, while India, Indonesia, and Malaysia are enacting sovereign-cloud mandates that require localized data storage and processing — driving a wave of new regional data center construction.
