US cyber-security firm AvePoint eyes growth in S'pore as it lists on SGX
The Straits Times
|September 20, 2025
US cyber-security firm AvePoint is seeking to expand in Singapore after becoming the first company to be listed on both the Nasdaq and the Singapore Exchange (SGX).
Dr Jiang Tianyi, its co-founder and chief executive, told The Straits Times on Sept 19 that the firm's research and development hub in Singapore, its Asia headquarters, generates significant intellectual property by working with the Government, institutes of higher learning and commercial partners such as NTUC LearningHub.
"In the age of AI (artificial intelligence), upskilling the workforce is critically important, and technology can play a key role in that... That is why Singapore will continue to be a place where we invest and expand our presence, given the unique innovation and intellectual property we are able to generate here," he said, adding that the hub, set up in Fusionopolis in 2022, will expand its headcount from about 300 employees to 500 by 2026.
