Leo International Group celebrates a century of operations by relocating its global HQ to Singapore

Leo International Group has relocated its global headquarters to Singapore, a move that coincides with the fourth-generation family enterprise’s centennial. The decision appears as both a symbolic milestone and a strategic reset, as the Group seeks to anchor its next phase of growth within a stable, well-governed jurisdiction suited to its goals for long-term continuity.

Although Leo International Group was formally established in 2022 under its current chairman Leo Wang, the family enterprise traces its origins to Taiwan in 1926. What began as an industrial and trading business expanded organically into logistics and infrastructure before evolving into a diversified group with interests spanning industries including asset management, technology, and luxury lifestyle services.

Alongside the relocation, Leo International Group has reorganised its businesses around three core pillars: healthcare, financial services and education. According to Wang, these sectors were selected because they address humanity’s most enduring needs, life, order and the future respectively.

It is likely that Singapore was chosen because it reflects the needs of this increasingly diverse portfolio; after all, its investment into the biomedical sector, position as a global financial hub and reputation for educational excellence closely mirror the Group’s strategic priorities.

Beyond sectoral alignment, Singapore’s institutional stability, regulatory clarity and developed financial infrastructure offer a governance framework suited to a family enterprise intent on longevity.

Pillars of the future

Healthcare is the Group’s newest and fastest-developing sector. Last year, Leo International Group acquired German biomedical firm SPOABG AG, now renamed Leo International Precision Health AG, to advance the application of artificial intelligence within the healthcare industry. With this acquisition, the Group also integrated six majority-owned portfolio companies in 2025, deepening its presence in biomedical and precision health.

In financial services, the Group is in the process of establishing a family office in Singapore and is presently finalising the appointment of external advisers. The end-to-end offering is expected to be completed within 12 to 18 months, with the aim of aligning family capital deployment with the Group’s healthcare, education and long-term stewardship objectives.

Education forms the third pillar. Leo International Group currently operates kindergartens and primary schools and is pursuing acquisitions of secondary schools and a university. It is also identifying land in Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo for the development of international schools, with longer-term plans to list its education assets on the Singapore Exchange.

“The establishment of our Family Office alongside the relocation of our HQ to Singapore reflects the Group’s intention to anchor its next century of growth within a governance-first framework, where capital, strategy and responsibility are aligned over the long term,” said Wang, Chairperson and Founder of Leo International Group.

“Singapore is precisely the environment required to design governance that can endure beyond any single generation or individual leader.”
