    To foster the adoption of cognitive computing and blockchain technology in Asia, IBM also announces the opening of the Watson Centre at Marina Bay in Singapore. The centre is an incubator to consolidate different business partners, organizations and IBM experts to collectively create business solutions, leveraging IBM’s cognitive, blockchain and design capabilities.

    The centre will also host clients in the Asia Pacific looking to utilize Watson technology; which reasons, improves through learning, and discovers insights hidden in large amounts of complex data.

    The Watson Centre will also act as a center of expertise for 5,000 IBM cognitive solutions professionals in the APAC. These professionals include researchers, IBM Watson specialists, data scientists, software engineers, agile developers and analytics experts. The centre will additionally offer education, hackathons, and customised workshops for a broader ecosystem of innovators including software companies, startups, developers and systems integrators.

    To encourage the use of blockchain in Asia, IBM through its IBM Garage and the IBM Global Entrepreneur program will accelerate the development, design and commercialization of Singapore blockchain applications.

    At the IBM Garage, experts collaborate with clients, developers and entrepreneurs to test-drive tools, processes, and procedures to make Blockchain real. The garage creates a bridge between the scale of enterprise and culture of startups and supports the development of an Open Standards based Blockchain ecosystem and creates new work opportunities in Singapore.

    The IBM Global Entrepreneur Programme helps startups and entrepreneurs who are building new generation of distributed ledger applications on the Blockchain harness the power of IBM Cloud, as well as connect and embed them into IBM's vast global network of enterprise clients, consultants and Innovation Centres to rapidly build, scale quickly and accelerate growth.
