KIN Global 2009 was a defining moment for Kellogg, bringing together delegates from academia, government, non profits and a wide range of industries: healthcare, technology, defense, utilities and communications to workshop on ideas related to building global prosperity.
We devoted most program time to executives and thought leaders who presented their insights, innovation challenges and open questions. Kellogg faculty members acted as facilitators and synthesizers. Moreover, delegates did not just attend, they participated in the creation of new knowledge.
Prior to, during and after the summit, opportunities were created for delegates to generate meaningful perspectives, research projects and avenues for collaboration. Through events like KIN Global, we are building a network of thought leaders who have the collective ability to advance the global prosperity agenda -

Singapore Telecom Internet Exchange (STIX)
STIX was created as part of a complex strategy to have Singapore become the regional Internet hub. STIX provided three core functions. First, it was a Internet transit service for Internet Service providers in the region. The competitive edge was to provide global Internet transit services AND regional connectivity. The regional connectivity was critical to reduce the latency from “bouncing Asian traffic” off the US. Second, STIX provided a means for SingNet’s regional bi-lateral peering -…
STIX was created as part of a complex strategy to have Singapore become the regional Internet hub. STIX provided three core functions. First, it was a Internet transit service for Internet Service providers in the region. The competitive edge was to provide global Internet transit services AND regional connectivity. The regional connectivity was critical to reduce the latency from “bouncing Asian traffic” off the US. Second, STIX provided a means for SingNet’s regional bi-lateral peering - AP-Mesh. It provides an incentive for the peering to take place. All the AP-Mesh peers received all the SingNet routes and all the STIX routes - making the bi-lateral interconnect more valuable. Finally, SITX provided a peering hub to supplement the three part of the Singapore Internet Backbone (SIB). The SIB trilateral agreement allowed for all local routes and all routes from connections that terminated in Singapore. This means all the STIX routes would be shared with Pacific Internet and Cyberway. This approached turned Singapore into a valuable hub for which to connect. It utility is proven with its longevity. nearly 20 years after its creation, STIX is still a thriving service in Singapore Telecom’s portfolio of services (see http://info.singtel.com/business/products-and-services/internet/singtel-internet-exchange-stix)

How the philanthropy landscape has evolved in Singapore! This year's Philanthropy Asia Summit was bigger, more energetic and more engaged then ever, no doubt galvanised by the urgent and important challenges we face across Southeast Asia. Along the theme of Google.org's "Helping Everyone in APAC Unlock the AI Opportunity," we heard Marija (Maria) Ralic and Andrea Phua paint the picture of possibility through a collaborative and educated embrace of technology to realise the tangible impact of AI for social good. Thanks to Andrew Ure, Naina Subberwal Batra and William Tjhi for their complementary perspectives on how to deploy AI for an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable digital future for Southeast Asia. Indeed, tech is just the enabler. Localising AI is as important as scaling the opportunity, to ensure that no one is left behind, especially as internet access and affordability still remains a challenge, especially amongst rural communities. However, the power of private-public-philanthropic partnerships to translate potential to impact was evident through good work and visionary leadership of organisations such as AVPN, Pratham International, Infoxchange and Edufarmers International, all addressing urgent needs and transcending constraints with empathy, creativity and passion.

The latest Temasek–BCG report, “The Private Equity Opportunity in Climate Adaptation and Resilience,” makes a strong case: climate adaptation is a critical, undercapitalized frontier, ripe with opportunities for solutions that combine new materials, community infrastructure, and public health impact. One area the report highlights is climate-resilient building materials and urban cooling infrastructure—sectors that are both investable and urgently needed in the Global South. - read the report: https://lnkd.in/gGQAQHqK At Resilient Cities Network, we see this theory in action through the OASIS Schoolyards initiative in the Philippines and Indonesia. Backed by Temasek Foundation and MilkLife, OASIS is transforming public schoolyards into cool, green, multifunctional spaces using nature-based design, permeable materials, and community-led planning. Why schools? Because schools are not just infrastructure—they’re social anchors. And children are among the most vulnerable to heat and climate stress. For those designing or supporting similar efforts, we’ve just published a practical guide for teachers and city school departments on how to activate and scale OASIS schoolyards in local contexts. This is where climate adaptation becomes tangible—combining environmental performance, health benefits, education, and long-term resilience in the spaces children learn and grow. Read and download the guide here👇 https://lnkd.in/ewKp5Yd2 As the report makes clear, there’s a growing capital market for such solutions. The challenge now is to connect capital with grounded, community-based innovation. Shirley M Tee, Stanley L. Felicia Hanitio Nadia Soerjanto Aurora Dias Lokita Elijah G.
