Celebrating the Launch of the SUTD–National Edge AI Hub Collaboration
Today marked an exciting milestone as we officially launched the collaboration between the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD)’s iTrust, and the National Edge Artificial Intelligence Hub.
This partnership is a significant step in expanding secure, deployable Edge AI research into new contexts and application domains. By bringing together the Hub’s deep technical expertise with SUTD and iTrust’s advanced testbeds and strong industry connections, we are creating powerful pathways that move cutting‑edge research toward real‑world impact. The collaboration opens doors to shared innovation, richer international engagement, and opportunities for joint development across sectors.
A Morning of Insight and Innovation
The event brought together researchers, industry partners, and members of both institutions for a dynamic programme, beginning with networking over morning refreshments and followed by opening remarks on the vision behind the partnership.
Attendees heard introductions to iTrust and the National Edge AI Hub, including a keynote from Professor Rajiv Ranjan and a few opening words from Newcastle University’s Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Chris Day. The programme featured presentations from both Hub and iTrust speakers, Professor Carsten Maple, Professor Phil James, and colleagues from SUTD, who shared perspectives on emerging challenges and opportunities within the Edge AI landscape. Engaging discussions and Q&A sessions helped surface ideas for future collaboration and joint research activities.
Recognising Excellence
A highlight of the event was the National Edge AI Hub Award Ceremony, celebrating 6 individuals whose contributions are helping push the boundaries of secure and impactful Edge AI. This was followed by the iTrust CiMS Award Ceremony, recognising four awardees for their achievements and commitment to innovation.
Looking Ahead
We extend our gratitude to our partners at SUTD and iTrust for their leadership, collaboration, and warm hospitality. Today’s launch represents the beginning of a deeper partnership, and we look forward to welcoming colleagues to Newcastle in the near future as we continue building a shared ecosystem for transformative Edge AI research.
