Welcome!

Memex Research Pte Ltd is a research and information technology services company incorporated in Singapore in 1994.

Memex Research takes its name and inspiration from Vannevar Bush, the distinguished American engineer, administrator, and pioneer in computer design. Bush coined the term "memex" in an article entitled As We May Think originally published in the July 1945 issue of The Atlantic Monthly. The term refers to "a future device for individual use, which is a sort of mechanized private file and library." Effectively, a memory extender.
