JTC revamps LaunchPad masterplan with Kampong AI block

The block will accommodate up to 70 companies and event spaces.

JTC Corporation has unveiled a refreshed masterplan for LaunchPad @ One-North, outlining plans to strengthen its focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and other growth industry sectors.

The updated plan focuses on enhanced and dedicated infrastructure, policies to support startups at various stages, and community-building programmes for the startup ecosystem.

Singapore is home to over 4,500 tech startups and more than 500 global venture capital firms and angel investors, according to a press release.

A key component of the plan is Kampong AI, which will comprise two repurposed blocks within LaunchPad @ One-North.

The AI block will provide 14,500 square metres of business park space to accommodate up to 70 companies and event spaces. An adjacent block will offer more than 200 residential units.

A pilot phase of Kampong AI will begin in March 2026, using existing workspaces at the launch pad to house AI companies ahead of the project’s completion. The development is slated for completion in 2028.

JTC said it conducted engagements with stakeholders across the startup ecosystem as part of its masterplan review.

Participants identified AI as a critical technology expected to impact multiple industries and called for a stronger community of AI leaders, practitioners and researchers in Singapore.

Separately, the group said it will establish a new LaunchPad @ PDD in phases later this year to expand its offering of startup spaces islandwide.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
