Tribe, the Singapore government-supported technology ecosystem builder, is aiming to nurture 100,000 next-generation developers in the next two years through its Global Developer Hacker House.
Launched in collaboration with Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), Temasek, the Global Developer Hacker House will provide opportunities for developers to learn, practise and build solutions to real-world problems.
It will offer a series of developer engagement programmes focusing on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality, blockchain and quantum computing. This includes developer quests, hackathons and meet-ups in cities around the world, including Singapore, New York, Mexico City, London, and Seoul.
Additionally, the Global Developer Hacker House will provide mentorships, networking opportunities and technology assets for developers by tech giants such as Meta, Google Cloud and Circle. It will also partner with AngelHack, a diverse developer community platform with more than 300,000 developers.
“As the emerging technology space continues to evolve rapidly, investing in its building blocks – namely talent, and infrastructure – is absolutely essential to push into new frontiers of innovation and impact. Collaboration is crucial for the industry to drive a major talent turnaround and lower skills mismatch. Through the Global Developer Hacker House, we are bringing together public and private sectors whilst building a space to spur the next generation of developers while allowing corporations to be able to work with these talent pools,” says Tribe’s CEO Yi Ming Ng.
“Asia Pacific is fast becoming a global hub for Web3, and platforms like Global Developer Hacker House play an important role in helping fuel innovation and skills development in the ecosystem. We're excited to see how developers use this new paradigm to build applications, businesses, and digital experiences and to continue to see how decentralised networks can reimagine online interactions,” says Mitesh Agarwal, managing director of customer engineering and Web3 go-to-market for Asia Pacific at Google Cloud.
