Hm, Singapour looks more like "one of their base"; they will have offices in Paris, Montréal, Singapour and New York (according to both this article and the interview Yann Le Cun did this morning on France Inter, the most listened radio in France).

Of course, each relevant newspaper on those areas highlight that it's coming to their place, but it really seems to be distributed.

Which would be a good idea, as a European. I'd hate to see the investment go to waste on taxes that are spent on stupid shit anyway. Should go into R&D not fighting bureaucracy.

Probably just a satellite office.

Might be to be close to some of Yann's collaborators like Xavier Bresson at NUS

That's a Singaporian newspaper, though; not sure if it's objectively their main base, or just one of them

"Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome."

Almost certainly the IP will be held in Singapore for tax reasons.

> they are setting up in Singapore as their base

Europe in general has been tightening up their rules / taxes / laws around startups / companies especially tech and remote.

It's been less friendly. these days.
