Singtel to partner with DISG to speed up AI transformation

Alliance will support AI talent development, governance frameworks, and enterprise AI deployment.

Singtel will team up with Digital Industry Singapore (DISG) to support the first phase of a multi-year AI transformation programme.

The collaboration will help Singtel strengthen its AI capabilities across talent development and hiring, governance and technology frameworks, and enterprise advisory and implementation expertise.

The initiative forms part of a strategic partnership between Singtel Group and Digital Industry Singapore to accelerate AI transformation across Singtel’s businesses.

Singtel Singapore is integrating AI across customer engagement, network operations, and enterprise services to improve responsiveness, efficiency, and resilience.

In customer care, AI will support agents and customers through real-time assistance, intelligent routing, and conversational AI.

Singtel said the first phase will focus on developing an AI-native telco roadmap, deploying agentic AI and AI/ML capabilities, building AI-native talent, establishing a trusted AI operating model, and creating reusable AI solutions and deployment playbooks.

Singtel has already trained around 13,000 employees in Singapore. It plans to train all Singapore-based employees in AI, with 3,000 to be developed as AI practitioners and 300 as AI specialists.

The initiative is also expected to create new high-value AI-related roles and support large-scale upskilling and reskilling across the organisation.

No financial terms were disclosed in the announcement.

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.
