Microsoft unveils new initiatives to accelerate AI development in Singapore

The initiatives will benefit businesses and employees in key industries in Singapore.

Microsoft launched the Microsoft AI Pinnacle Programme to start with five pioneering organisations including Certis, HTX, Mediacorp, Seatrium, and Synapxe to create AI solutions that will drive transformation for organizations and key industry sectors.

The programme will study AI use cases with clear business ROI and outcomes and deliver business impact.

It will also establish an AI Center of Capabilities (CoC) and provide comprehensive training programs to accelerate AI enterprise skilling.

This is in line with Microsoft’s aim to advance AI capabilities for businesses and employees in Singapore by introducing new initiatives with SkillsFuture and NTUC LearningHub.

Microsoft’s collaboration with SkillsFuture will benefit 2,000 SMEs in 3 years by equipping them with AI expertise.

Meanwhile, Microsoft and NTUC LearningHub will train up to 100,000 NTUC members to enhance their AI literacy.

In addition, Microsoft will also collaborate with EnterpriseSG and IMDA to enable SMEs to accelerate AI adoption.

Microsoft will also partner with the Institute for Adult Learning (IAL) to co-develop and test new AI tools and methodologies to enhance the learning experiences of adult learners.

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.
