On 22 January 2025, Volvo Cars Tech Hub Singapore celebrated its office opening alongside a Hackathon centered on “Safe Driving in Urban Cities: Respect All Road Users.” This event was attended by our Guest of Honour, Ms Cindy Koh, Executive Vice President of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), 70 government, industry, university partners, academic researchers, and thirty student participants from four local universities. This celebration also served as a platform to establish the Tech Hub’s presence and share about its focus areas while fostering ties with industry partners and local talents.
Tech Hub Singapore was established in September 2023. It currently focuses on building capabilities in Robotics Engineering, Power Electronics, AI & Data Analytics and Electronics Engineering. These focus areas will support Volvo Cars’ in-house technology and software development.
Over the last year, the Tech Hub has achieved several milestones including:
- Moving into its dedicated office and lab space;
- Welcoming a dedicated team of department heads, who has formed strong ties with our headquarters in Gothenburg for its core focus areas;
- Represented Volvo Cars during the Swedish Royal Visit to Singapore, and showcased the partnership between Sweden and Singapore in driving innovation.
