Microsoft commits $7.095b to Singapore’s AI push

The funds will build out critical cloud and AI infrastructure through 2029.

Microsoft is committing $7.095b (US$5.5b) through 2029 to support Singapore’s artificial intelligence (AI) push.

“Our ongoing investment in cloud and AI infrastructure reflects Microsoft’s long-term confidence in Singapore as a global digital leader,” Brad Smith, vice chair and president of Microsoft, said in a statement.

“Together, we’re focused on helping people and organisations use AI by strengthening skills, increasing cybersecurity and resilience, and advancing trusted governance so technology delivers real benefits for Singaporeans,” he added.

According to Microsoft, the investment will be used in cloud and AI infrastructure and its ongoing operations in Singapore. Efforts to strengthen AI skills across sectors and communities, whilst increasing cybersecurity, resilience and trusted governance will also be continued, it added.

“By embedding AI literacy into everyday learning and in how every sector, from enterprise to nonprofits operate, we’re building on the National AI Strategy 2.0 to drive inclusive, trusted AI adoption for genuine impact,” said Wee Luen Chia, managing director, Microsoft Singapore.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
