Siqi Zheng, Principal Investigator, Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology (SMART) & MIT Professor discusses a recent study by SMART identifying a strong statistical association between global air connectivity and patterns of where multinational corporations (MNCs) invest and set up subsidiaries. 

She shares why being connected to the right cities matters more than just have more routes; how even a single layover can reduce investment; and the reason finance and tech are especially sensitive to connectivity.
