To strengthen Singapore’s position as an info-communication hub in the region, the Info-communications Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA) proposed to establish a neutral Internet Exchange which seeks to attract regional and international carriers to use Singapore as an Internet hub and encourages content providers to host their content in the country. To support and help achieve these objectives, Singapore Internet Exchange (SGIX) was hence incorporated in 2010 as an industry owned, open and carrier-neutral Internet Exchange service provider in Singapore.
