Jobs at One-North: Biopolis, Fusionopolis, and Mediapolis

One-North is Singapore's premier science and technology district — a 200-hectare mixed-use research, business, and residential precinct developed by JTC Corporation in Buona Vista. One-North houses three distinct clusters: Biopolis (biomedical research), Fusionopolis (information and communications technology), and Mediapolis (media and analytics). Together, these clusters represent Singapore's commitment to knowledge-intensive economic development.

Biopolis — biomedical research cluster

Biopolis opened in 2003 as Singapore's dedicated biomedical research precinct. Key employers: A*STAR (GIS, BII, IBB, SIgN, IMCB, IMB), Pfizer Asia Pacific, GSK, MSD Singapore, Novartis Singapore, Roche, and dozens of biotech startups and CROs (Contract Research Organisations). Biopolis also houses NUS Faculty of Science, giving it an academic energy distinct from commercial districts.

Fusionopolis — ICT and creative cluster

Fusionopolis is Singapore's ICT and digital media cluster. Key tenants: DSO National Laboratories (Singapore's national defence research laboratory), DSTA (Defence Science and Technology Agency), Ubisoft Singapore (largest Ubisoft studio outside of Ubisoft HQ), Acronis (cybersecurity — APAC HQ). The vibe at Fusionopolis is more relaxed and startup-oriented than the CBD.

Mediapolis — media and analytics

Mediapolis focuses on digital media, analytics, and interactive entertainment. Anchor tenant: Infinite Studios (production facilities). Growing hub for data analytics, content production, and digital media roles.

Block 71 — Singapore's startup epicentre

Block 71 at One-North is Singapore's most famous startup hub — a converted industrial building housing hundreds of tech startups, incubators (NUS Enterprise, Entrepreneur First), and venture capital firms. For candidates interested in Singapore's startup ecosystem, Block 71 is the epicentre. Culture is highly informal, fast-moving, and international.

Working at One-North — practical notes

• MRT access: One-North MRT station (CC23) on the Circle Line. Walking distance to all three clusters.
• Culture: More relaxed and collaborative than CBD — dress code is business casual to casual in most employers.
• Amenities: Star Vista mall adjacent, multiple hawker centres within walking distance, and the Rochester Park F&B cluster nearby.
