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.",
