Cognition AI Establishes Singapore as Asia-Pacific Hub for Devin Coding Agent Expansion

Cognition, creator of the pioneering Devin AI software engineer, has expanded to Singapore to establish its Asia-Pacific regional hub.

This announcement follows the company's recent market entry in Japan earlier in April 2026.

Strategic Acquisition Boosts Local Expertise

Cognition is acquiring Havana, a Singapore-based startup specializing in AI agents, with its team integrating into regional engineering and product functions.

The firm plans to open a new office in Singapore's Central Business District later in 2026.

Building a Robust Regional Team

Over the next two years, Cognition aims to expand its APAC team across engineering, operations, product development, sales, and marketing.

This hub will oversee operations throughout Southeast Asia, Australia, India, and South Korea.

Cognition already collaborates with major enterprises like OCBC in Singapore, enhancing software development workflows.

The expansion capitalizes on Asia's growing demand for AI tools that accelerate coding, improve quality, and ensure compliance.

Historically, Cognition has led AI innovation with Devin, transforming how organizations approach software engineering.

Future impacts include stronger enterprise support in R&D, deployment, and legal frameworks across the region.

Singapore's selection underscores its role as a premier tech gateway for AI advancements in Asia-Pacific.
