05:57 AM EDT, 04/18/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Apple ( AAPL ) said Wednesday it plans to invest over $250 million to expand its Singapore campus.

The company, which first launched operations in Singapore with 72 personnel more than 40 years ago, now employs more than 3,600 in the city-state, which serves as a regional hub.

The expanded Singapore campus, in the Ang Mo Kio district, will operate on renewable energy, with construction set to begin later this year, the company said.
