Evidence snapshot for Bandar Seri Begawan
Bandar Seri Begawan is home to Anggerek Desa Technology Park, which houses iCentre, Brunei's first ICT business incubator that has incubated over 40 startups and graduated 30 firms since 2007, though only 2 achieved venture-capital funding. The city also hosts the headquarters or delivery points for digital skills and entrepreneurship initiatives, including Go Digital ASEAN training and Academy for Women Entrepreneurs programmes. BruHealth 5.0, Brunei's AI-enabled national health platform launched in January 2025, operates across the capital and has exceeded 500,000 downloads with 63% of users logging in weekly. The evidence demonstrates Bandar Seri Begawan as a centre for technology, health-tech innovation and entrepreneurship support, though it does not quantify the city's share of national economic activity or population.
