Life Science Incubator Launches Singapore’s Largest Co-Working Laboratory at Elementum
Singapore continues to shine as a beacon of innovation in the Asia-Pacific, and the Life Science Incubator (LSI) is raising the bar even higher.
Earlier in February, LSI proudly unveiled Singapore’s largest co-working laboratory at Elementum, located in the JTC one-north business park. This cutting-edge facility reinforces Singapore’s status as a leading life sciences hub in the region.
A Hub for Innovation
Singapore is a hotbed for biotech, MedTech, and pharmaceutical innovation, and the demand for top-tier laboratory space is on the rise. LSI’s new state-of-the-art co-working laboratory at Elementum addresses this need by providing fully equipped, high-quality lab space to support startups, entrepreneurs, and multinational firms looking to scale their operations.
Our mission at LSI is to remove barriers for life sciences startups and innovators by providing the critical infrastructure they need to accelerate breakthroughs. Singapore’s life sciences sector is entering an exciting phase of growth, and we’re proud to be part of this journey, supporting the next wave of transformative advancements in healthcare and biotechnology.

Singapore: A Rising Life Sciences Powerhouse
Investor confidence in Singapore’s healthtech and life sciences sector remains robust. In 2024 alone, 14 companies raised S$92.4 million, solidifying Singapore as the top destination for biotech investment in Southeast Asia. This is further bolstered by the Research, Innovation and Enterprise 2025 (RIE2025) plan, which has allocated approximately S$28 billion to strengthen key sectors, including life sciences. Singapore’s world-class regulatory framework and strong intellectual property protections continue to attract leading biotech and MedTech firms, solidifying the nation’s status as a premier hub for innovation.
Flexible Solutions for Life Science Companies
Elementum offers a range of flexible lab and office solutions to meet the diverse needs of life science companies. Beyond open lab spaces, the facility provides larger private suites with dedicated tissue culture rooms and highly specified control. Tenants benefit from a high degree of customisation, adaptable contract arrangements, and full-service support, catering to both startups and established enterprises. Elementum also fosters a vibrant and innovative community, promoting connectivity and collaboration among its tenants.
The expansion of LSI at Elementum marks a pivotal step in strengthening Singapore’s position as a leading life sciences hub in the Asia-Pacific. This co-working laboratory will provide the critical space and resources needed for startups, researchers, and global firms to accelerate advancements in biotechnology and medical innovation.

What’s Next?
With this expansion, LSI has tripled its laboratory space, reinforcing its position as Singapore’s leading independent provider of co-working laboratory solutions. The facility at Elementum will cater to the growing number of startups and international firms seeking agile, high-quality lab spaces in one of the world’s most dynamic life sciences ecosystems.
Looking ahead, LSI is set to expand into the broader APAC region, with Australia as its next key market. Australia offers a highly attractive environment with its strong focus on research and development, efficient clinical trial processes, and access to top-tier educational institutions and talent. Leveraging three years of active engagement in the Australian life sciences ecosystem, LSI has built strong relationships with the community, academia, and government agencies. Discussions are underway for the potential launch of the first LSI Australia location later this year.
