Microsoft Research Asia – Singapore opened as Microsoft’s first research lab in Southeast Asia and reported its first year of activity focused on AI research, partnerships, and talent development. It cites that it has supported 9 new research projects with NUS and NTU in its first year and has grown to more than 75 Singapore institution projects since 2004. The lab’s work is shifting deeper into a research-to-impact loop through deployments and joint initiatives aligned with Singapore’s AI strategy, healthcare and other sector collaborations.
New York Climate Week became dominated by the AI boom as climate tech startups pivoted energy- and AI-adjacent pitches to attract funding for data center power buildouts. Venture deal value in climate tech rose for four straight quarters, reaching $14 billion in the first quarter of this year, driven largely by data center-related sectors.

Qiagen is building drug discovery agents on a curated biomedical knowledge foundation with clear provenance instead of relying only on model capabilities. The approach is anchored by data manually curated for more than 25 years by 150+ MD- and PhD-level experts. The result is a Discovery Platform that adds knowledge-context layers (including MCP and an agentic Discovery Explorer) and is designed to produce outputs that are traceable rather than potentially hallucinated.
