What Kin does

KIN Global (SGX: KIN) is a Singapore-based integrated event tourism agency founded in 2017 that delivers world-class sporting championships, immersive exhibitions and cultural experiences. The company operates through three service lines — Event Delivery & Management (end-to-end sporting event execution), Design & Build (immersive spaces for museums, galleries and themed attractions), and Curate & Create (cultural IP development, touring exhibitions and signature experiences). Its customer base spans international sports federations (IOC, World Aquatics, FIDE, FIBA, World Rugby), Singapore government agencies (Singapore Tourism Board, SportSG, National Heritage Board) and global media-rights holders (BLAST, SPOTV Media, Hawk-Eye/Crionet ecosystem).

The company's underlying capability stack centres on large-scale temporary venue construction, immersive experience design and integrated broadcast infrastructure — demonstrated by converting a 250,000 sq ft car park into the World Aquatics Championships 2025 arena in under six months, building Southeast Asia's first 37m high-dive tower with millimetre-level precision, and operating an International Broadcast Centre serving 150+ territories with 280+ hours of live coverage in 11 languages. Proprietary elements include STC40-rated soundproofing, one-way mirror glass installations and a 2.5m spherical LED globe with RFID wristband personalisation for cultural installations.

KIN monetises via project-based B2B professional services contracts with pricing determined by scope, complexity and duration rather than published tiers. Revenue is recognised across three streams — event delivery (typical federation/government contracts), design & build (S$48.8M revenue in 9M 2025 alone) and curate & create (positioned toward licensing/royalties on cultural IP). The corporate group comprises wholly-owned Kin Productions Pte Ltd (event delivery), 75%-owned Kin D+B Pte Ltd (design & build) and wholly-owned Kin Middle East W.L.L. The group listed on SGX Catalist on 23 April 2026, trading 15.2% above its IPO issue price at debut.

• Freeman: Global brand experience company delivering events, exhibits, and environments at scale. Operates in adjacent service lines to KIN across event production and design/build for major venues.
