Oracle has announced a collaboration with Digital Industry Singapore (DISG) to advance the Enterprise Compute Initiative (ECI), aiming to accelerate AI adoption across industries in Singapore. The initiative, supported by the Oracle AI Customer Excellence Centre, will help companies establish in-house AI teams or AI Centres of Excellence (CoEs).
Oracle is committing up to S$250,000 per company to empower 300 Singapore-based organisations through Oracle Universal Credits, training, certification, and discovery workshops. Additionally, Oracle will sponsor up to S$1.9m for enterprises requiring private cloud infrastructure, enabling access to Oracle Private Cloud Appliance and Oracle Exadata. This effort, combined with the Singapore Government’s support covering 70% of consultancy costs, aims to lower barriers and enable enterprises to adopt AI at scale.
Philbert Gomez, senior vice president and executive director of DISG, stated, “This collaboration will accelerate companies’ AI ambitions in Singapore, strengthening our position as a global AI hub.”
The initiative is designed to help organisations train teams, test innovations in secure cloud environments, and transform critical business operations. Oracle’s executive vice president, Garrett Ilg, highlighted the transformative power of AI, saying, “AI is transforming everything from how organisations operate to how people learn and innovate.”
Oriental Remedies, a leading Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic chain, is among the companies exploring partnerships with Oracle through the ECI. Beatrice Liu, CEO and Co-Founder of Oriental Remedies Group, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, aiming to enhance patient experience and automate processes.
This partnership underscores Singapore’s commitment to becoming a global AI hub, fostering innovation and competitiveness through technology.
