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.

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.
