Constructor Group selects Singapore for new global AI and quantum headquarters, creating 200+ high-skilled roles

Constructor Group has chosen to relocate its headquarters from Switzerland to Singapore, one of the world’s most prevalent innovation hubs — a decision that will create approximately 200 new high-skilled positions for young and seasoned professionals. The move and long-term partnership further strengthens the Constructor Group’s connection with Singapore. In total, Constructor will create more than 200 new jobs over the next 2-3 years, expanding its regional footprint to more than 250 people, extending to research, education, deep technology and capital businesses.

The decision for Constructor Group to establish itself in Singapore was made after an extensive international evaluation process of leading technology destinations. The Singapore government welcomes this initiative, which will contribute to strengthening Singapore’s AI and quantum ecosystem, and enhance capabilities for the research and education sector.  
“Singapore is one the world’s top technology and research environments, and their support has opened a new door,” said Dr. Serg Bell, Constructor Group Founder and Chairman of the Board. “Constructor Group's entire ecosystem — research, education, deep technology and capital — will now sit in one place to define what AI and quantum mean for industry and education over the next decade," said Dr. Bell.

Why Singapore

The decision reflects Singapore’s position as a globally recognised innovation and technology hub. Singapore ranks among the world’s leading economies on measures of innovation, talent competitiveness, and global connectivity, including being ranked #1 on the 2026 Henley Passport Index and remaining in the global top five of the WIPO Global Innovation Index. The country is also continuing to strengthen its AI and deep tech ecosystem under National AI Strategy 2.0, supported by sustained investments in infrastructure, research, and talent development.

Singapore has become an important regional base for many leading technology companies, including OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Workato, reflecting the country’s attractiveness as a hub for technology innovation, talent, and enterprise adoption. Constructor’s move is aligned with these broader ecosystem trends.

A new chapter for Constructor talent growth

Constructor has, until now, been known for training and developing talent — through Constructor University, Constructor Nexford and the Group’s research labs. The Singapore move marks the moment Constructor evolves from training talent to also deploying it at scale.

The roughly 200 new positions are the natural next step from the Group’s education mission. More than half of the new hires will be graduates, PhDs and post-graduates, drawn both from Constructor’s own pipeline and from Singapore’s deep regional talent pool. Constructor Tech’s Singapore team will grow to more than 160 specialists, with the Group’s regional footprint passing 250.
In parallel, Singapore will become Constructor’s primary IP portfolio location, with plans to file more than 100 patents annually.

Long-term, mutual commitment — starting now

This development is a major milestone, but it’s only the start: it sets in motion a long-term growth plan that will impact every facet of the brand.

The Singapore hub is being designed from the outset to serve the entire Constructor Group, not a single business line: 

• Constructor Tech anchors the first phase, scaling its AI and quantum capabilities and IP base in Singapore.
   
• Constructor University, Constructor Nexford and Constructor Labs will progressively build joint research, faculty exchange, executive education and applied-science programmes with Singapore’s universities and research institutes — starting from existing engagement with the National University of Singapore.
   
• Constructor Capital will use Singapore as a base to back early-stage quantum, deep-tech and EduTech founders across the region. 

Over time, each part of the Group is expected to develop its own Singapore presence and collaboration— well beyond what is announced today.

“Digital Industry Singapore welcomes Constructor Group’s plans to establish its AI and Quantum Centre of Excellence in Singapore. This investment will further strengthen Singapore’s growing deep-tech ecosystem, and create valuable opportunities for collaboration with our research and enterprise partners. Through these partnerships, we look forward to new capabilities and innovations being developed from Singapore,” said Philbert Gomez, Senior Vice President, Executive Director and Head of Digital Industry Singapore.

“We value the partnership with Digital Industry Singapore in establishing this Center of Excellence for Quantum Computing and AI," said Dr. Serg Bell, Constructor Group Founder and Chairman of the Board. "Singapore's research depth and engineering-led innovation are a fit with our mission: using computing, software, and robotics to make every scientist, teacher, and student more efficient and effective. Constructor's growing IP portfolio of 217 patent families (95% focused on applied AI systems) is the foundation. Singapore is where that vision becomes real."

"Our CEO, CTO, CPO and Head of Machine Learning are already based here, and we are committing more than SGD 250 million over three years to grow to 170+ senior roles by 2028, more than 100 of them in R&D. As a Singaporean citizen, this is a commitment I intend to deepen for years to come."

Existing engagement with the National University of Singapore — which already uses Constructor Tech products — provides an early foundation, with further partnerships across Singapore’s higher-education, research and corporate community expected to follow.
