EnterpriseSG, UOB launch AI programme for 200 F&B businesses

Six in 10 local operators use mostly standalone digital systems, a survey found.

Enterprise Singapore and UOB have launched an initiative to support at least 200 food and beverage (F&B) businesses in adopting integrated digital and artificial intelligence (AI) systems over the next two years.

The Food & Beverage AI and Digital Integration Programme provides eligible businesses with advisory support from UOB’s SME Banking division to identify suitable digital and AI tools.

They may also adopt solutions and integration services curated by the partnership at preferential rates, with EnterpriseSG offering up to 50% funding support.

The two organisations will also conduct capability-building workshops for participating businesses.

The initiative comes as a UOB survey conducted in June found that six in 10 local F&B operators had most of their digital solutions running as standalone systems.

About one in three had yet to adopt AI tools, it added.

The programme was announced by Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling at Restaurant Asia 2026.

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.
