Gov’t to allocate $150m for AI, supercomputing initiative

It also introduced the hybrid quantum-classical computing 1.0 initiative.

The government will be allocating $150m in funding to the Enterprise Compute Initiative for businesses to access resources for artificial intelligence and supercomputing.

“The National Supercomputing Centre has another pilot initiative with Digital Industry Singapore to support small and medium-sized enterprises and local start-ups to access supercomputers,” Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo said during the Supercomputing Asia 2025.

The minister also added that the government will take a further step to seed capabilities in hybrid quantum-classical computing through the new HQCC 1.0 initiative.

HQCC marries the capabilities of classical high-performance computing for large-scale data processing with quantum computing’s capacity for solving highly complex problems.

“Through this initiative, we aim to develop HQCC infrastructure to build a critical mass of engineering and scientific talent, and foster industry collaborations to apply HQCC in relevant sectors,” Teo 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.
