Microsoft continues to push the envelope of what the smart office environment can offer with the opening of their Singapore workplace and Experience Center. The Asia Pacific region is an overall innovation leader with 2.3 billion internet users; it produces 65% of the world’s industrial robotics and is a huge growth market for digital transformation. Singapore is one of the most modern cities in the world; it’s no surprise that leading organizations will feature some of their best work here.
