ComfortDelGro monetises both ends of its fleet; MAS funds the pipeline.

Singapore's ComfortDelGro wins a $2.7B contract to run the Copenhagen Metro — TNGlobal · Permalink

The joint venture with RATP Dev operates and maintains four lines, 44 stations and 43km of track for 12 years to 2039. The network carried 135 million passengers in 2025.

Positive-sum angle: Two decades of running the MRT becomes a product: Singapore is learning to export operating competence, which earns a margin on infrastructure other governments already paid to build.
MAS commits S$220M to fintech under a renewed FSTI 4.0 scheme — TNGlobal · Permalink

The three-year, S$220 million commitment spans six tracks — AI, distributed ledger and quantum deployment among them — and underwrites 1,000 fintech internship placements through a new portal.

Positive-sum angle: Subsidising a talent pipeline rather than logos compounds slowly and regionally: the interns Singapore pays for this cycle staff the fintechs that Jakarta and Manila hire from next.
Gojek routes GoTaxi bookings onto ComfortDelGro's Zig fleet in Singapore — AsiaOne · Permalink

GoTaxi requests can now be matched to Zig's roughly 7,600 metered taxis, the city's largest such fleet, widening an arrangement that previously covered only selected GoCar bookings.

Positive-sum angle: Demand aggregation without asset ownership: Gojek rents supply it never had to buy, while a taxi fleet that shrank five percent last year gets a second pipe against idle time.
