Google is offering a physical space that provides developers in Southeast Asia the resources they need to build products and grow their business, including access to the vendor’s technologies and engineers, hands-on mentorship, and networking opportunities. Occupying 7,200 square feet within its Singapore office, the Developer Space @ Google Singapore is its first such facility worldwide that is “dedicated to developers”, according to the US tech giant.
The new hub would support training workshops Google had hosted for developers and startups in the region, said Sami Kizilbash, Google’s developer relations program manager. He pointed to a four-day machine learning bootcamp held last November, which provided a platform for participants to understand how Google Cloud could be tapped to better structure data for analytics purposes.
