MyRepublic and Singapore Polytechnic have entered into a strategic collaboration to advance applied artificial intelligence (AI) innovation through a newly established automation sandbox. The partnership, formalised with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aims to provide students and faculty with hands-on experience in developing AI workflows and deploying large language model applications.
The sandbox, powered by MyRepublic’s AI Automation Box, offers a secure environment for experimentation and prototyping. This initiative will not only focus on infrastructure but also on co-developing AI training programmes, consultancy engagements, and industry attachment opportunities. Lawrence Chan, Chief AI Officer at MyRepublic, emphasised the importance of this collaboration, stating, “We are providing industry-grade AI automation capabilities that empower educators and students to move beyond experimentation into deployment.”
Georgina Phua, Deputy Principal (Development) at Singapore Polytechnic, highlighted the institution’s commitment to technology adoption, noting, “Real impact comes when teams have the skills, confidence, and hands-on experience to apply AI meaningfully.”
This partnership is set to accelerate AI adoption and strengthen industry-academia collaboration, positioning Singapore as a leader in applied AI capability development. Both organisations aim to drive innovation that results in measurable industry impact, supporting enterprises in exploring and building agentic workflows.
MyRepublic, known for redefining broadband and mobile connectivity, and Singapore Polytechnic, a leading educational institution, are poised to make significant contributions to the future of AI in Singapore through this collaboration.
