SAF is a highly desired partner for SUTD’s �ٱ��������·���� narrative, because we share the same goal that innovation will be key to our future, we share the same urgency and willingness to transform, and we share the same measure of success — quoting immediate past COA David “Can eat or not?”

Today is not just a reunion; it is a celebration of who we are, where we have been, and where we are headed—together. Since the day you graduated, SUTD has not stood still. We have continued to push boundaries, evolve boldly, and stay true to our mission to nurture technically grounded leaders and innovators who will design a better world. That mission is more urgent now than ever before.

Our conviction to raise human potential is why SUTD made the pivot earlier this year to be the world’s first Design AI university. This is more than a label, and also more than whether AI is under- or over-hyped. Design AI is how SUTD slices through the hype because as our students show, we know how to make trusted and safe AI concrete, creative, and empowering.

Among you are many more stories—of courage, of creativity, and of quiet strength. You’ve been shaped by a dynamic, demanding education that has prepared you not only to master new technologies but to use them with wisdom, empathy, and purpose.

Innovation is not only about technology. It is about people, purpose and perseverance. You—Class of 2025—are the designers of tomorrow’s world, and I have every confidence that you will shape a future that is brighter, more inclusive, and more compassionate.

As you embark on the next stage of growth, remember to continue to challenge conventions —because the world you enter is one of rapid, relentless change. Technology is evolving at a breakneck pace, reshaping how we live, work, and connect.

The possibilities that NTN technology can bring are very exciting and that is only made possible because of our industry partners such as JSAT, TMYTEK, Rohde & Schwarz, and VIAVI, as well as the hard work and dedication of SUTD’s faculty and researchers.

As the world’s first Design AI university, SUTD is of the firm belief that Design and Artificial Intelligence will drive the future. As AI becomes more commonplace, questions that have plagued us since the advent of technology have become more pertinent.

As the name implies, InspireCon is a gathering of – creative and inquisitive minds, of innovative spirits eager to explore new frontiers of the unknown, and of enlightened professionals, keen to nurture new talent and always on the lookout for the Next Big Thing.

At SUTD, it is never business as usual. We are constantly looking at new and innovative ways to do even the most mundane of tasks.
