The brand behind some of the world’s coolest appliances, such as the supersonic hair dryer and the bladeless fan, launched a new facility in Singapore on Monday (13 February) and it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.

Located just beside National University of Singapore (NUS), Dyson’s new state-of-the-art facility houses several laboratories and breakout rooms that are designed to help engineers feel both relaxed and inspired.

Present at the launch, founder and inventor Sir James Dyson and Singapore Minister for Trade and Industry S Iswaran talked about their plans for the company and the country, respectively.

We believe in engineers and in revolutionary technology,” said Sir Dyson. “We invest in both, and back them with a supportive environment. Ultimately, ‘success’ requires long-term investment, an international outlook and a political agenda that understands this philosophy,” he added.

“Singapore is quite clearly at the forefront, and ambitious for the future. Dyson is ambitious also,” said the 69-year-old entrepreneur.

Iswaran congratulated Dyson on the new technology centre and added, “We value the role you play as an innovation-led enterprise, and look forward to deepening our partnership as Singapore charts its next phase of growth.”

Dyson has over 1,000 employees in Singapore and plans to increase this number by 50 per cent.
