The country’s small size is an unavoidable reality, and its government and people have always tried to adapt to this and maximize limited resources. [Land reclamation projects]( [attempts to convert public infrastructure for other purposes]( and more have long been a part of these efforts. In the case of data centers, maximizing them means Singapore has to refine what it uses them for. This allows data centers to create a greater impact despite the space constraints. Today’s story takes a look at these developments in the city-state. -- Jonathan  ---------------------------------------------------------------  THE BIG STORY [Singapore’s data center crunch drives AI focus]( Tech firms will likely leverage their presence in Singapore for AI workloads, while shifting more traditional workloads to Malaysia and Indonesia. ---------------------------------------------------------------  VISUAL STORY OF THE DAY [Surviving the funding game: how timing can make or break your startup]( Industry realities, economic conditions, and market volatility can affect the time gap between funding rounds. --------------------------------------------------------------- STOP SETTLING FOR ‘GOOD ENOUGH’ CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT No more playing catch-up.
