OpenAI to establish Asia-Pacific hub in Singapore

Singaporeans are among the highest per capita users of ChatGPT worldwide.

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, will open an office in Singapore by late 2024, serving as its Asia-Pacific hub.

The company has begun building a team in Singapore to support customers and partners throughout the APAC region.

Singaporeans are among the highest per capita users of ChatGPT worldwide, with the number of weekly active users in Singapore doubling since the beginning of the year.

OpenAI said having a presence in Singapore will allow it to work more closely with local government partners, such as the Economic Development Board (EDB), to support Singapore’s local AI ecosystem.

As part of Singapore’s National AI Strategy 2.0, Digital Industry Singapore, which comprises EDB, ESG, and IMDA, is fostering collaboration between AI innovators and Singapore-based enterprises to drive productivity and growth.

Meanwhile, OpenAI has announced a partnership with AI Singapore to make advanced AI more widely accessible across Southeast Asia, providing up to US$1m to help develop resources, including open datasets, ensuring AI models are better suited to Southeast Asia's diverse languages and cultures.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
