AI company Zero Gravity investing S$20m in Singapore, including in badminton research
The firm will establish its global headquarters here, and part of its research will look into how artificial intelligence could help badminton players improve their performance.
Singapore will host Zero Gravity's global headquarters, with part of a S$20 million (US$15.6 million) investment going toward badminton research. S$10 million will go to establishing operations, while S$9 million supports university research collaborations, including S$4 million for AI and badminton research together with NTU and Y Badminton Academy.
The remaining S$1 million is for badminton-focused AI research. Dr Maliki Osman, patron-in-chief of the Singapore Badminton Association, sees potential for AI to help coaches tailor training and reduce injury risks for young players by analyzing movement data. The partnership with Y Badminton Academy aims to provide more opportunities for students from neighborhood schools to engage in badminton, potentially identifying and developing promising young players.
