The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) will transform its Punggol campus into a full-scale living lab by the end of 2025 through a campus-wide digital infrastructure called the Living Lab Network.

This system will provide students and companies with real-time access to operational campus data for learning and innovation.

Announcing this on July 2, Dr Janil Puthucheary, Senior Minister of State for Education and Sustainability and the Environment, said the network will offer a "dynamic, data-rich smart infrastructure" where learners and industry can work together.

He was speaking at the opening of SIT's two-day Applied Learning Conference at its new Punggol campus. The conference was attended by more than 1,000 educators, industry partners and participants.

Developed in partnership with NEC Asia Pacific, an information and communications technology provider, under SIT's Campus as a Living Lab initiative, the new network connects live campus systems with real-time data.
