    [SINGAPORE] Sats wants to borrow a page from Formula 1 to boost its own performance all over the globe, using real-time data and artificial intelligence to help run its expanding aviation and food logistics network.

    Kerry Mok, its president and CEO, said: “In an F1 race, teams are getting a continuous data feed from car telemetry. You have a strategy team that takes the data, analyses it, and that helps the team make decisions. I look at that and say, ‘This is perfect for us’.”

    Sats is in the midst of building a group-level, AI and data platform to boost overall performance and decision-making. At the same time, the Singapore Exchange mainboard-listed company is continuing the expansion of its key businesses of gateway services and food solutions.
