EDB, Thales ink MOU to launch AI accelerator platform

The platform will boost Thales’ R&D capabilities in Singapore.

The Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with France’s Thales to launch the AI accelerator platform, cortAIx SG.

cortAIx SG will identify critical challenges and develop high-impact AI solutions for Thales' business units across Singapore and beyond.

It will also boost Thales’ R&D capabilities and long-term innovation footprint in Singapore through the development and implementation of trusted AI systems in complex and mission-critical environments.

The centre will focus on projects to boost knowledge use, improve planning, and support decision-making; raise efficiency; and advance human-autonomy teaming.

Thales will partner with the Singapore government and local ecosystem to develop domain and tech capabilities, aiming to deliver ethical, transparent, explainable, and effective AI solutions.

“The launch of cortAIx SG by Thales will add new capabilities to Singapore’s growing AI and innovation ecosystems and builds on Thales’ longstanding presence in Singapore. We look forward to the impactful AI-enabled solutions cortAIx SG will develop in partnership with our ecosystem for Singapore and the region,” Cindy Koh, executive vice president at EDB, said.

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.
