The Smart Nation initiative is Singapore’s vision to be an economically competitive global city and a modern, liveable home for its citizens.

“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the Singapore government is currently providing one of the best platforms globally to develop and test Smart City solutions. I, also, strongly believe Singapore is the right hub to connect emerging and developed markets.”

Marvelstone Group has various partnerships to co-create innovations globally. It has recently partnered with Seoul Metropolitan Government to support its Fintech Incubation Centre, and also partnered with the IOTA Foundation to open a JV Innovation Lab in Singapore.
