    THE emergence of new artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities has sent shock waves through the tech scene in recent weeks, reminding us that even industries known for innovation are not immune from the impact of disruption.

    The world is likely to see more of such developments in the “Intelligent Age”, where AI, quantum computing and other new technologies are redefining global economies. For Singapore, this era presents an opportunity to lead purposefully by going beyond adoption to focus on trusted, purpose-driven advancements. Policies and funding outlined in Singapore Budget 2025 can provide a robust foundation for realising this vision.

    Capturing country’s strategic advantage

    Singapore’s compact size and advanced digital infrastructure solidify its reputation as a global test bed for applying emerging technologies. This unique advantage enables the country to boldly experiment with innovative solutions and trial, refine, and scale up applications that are not only impactful locally, but also adaptable for global relevance.
