To enable organisations to keep up with rapid advancements in AI, Oracle has announced the launch of its AI Centre of Excellence in Singapore during the Oracle CloudWorld Tour in the country.
The Oracle AI Centre of Excellence will serve as an innovation and collaboration hub, bringing together leaders at the forefront of AI to boost adoption across Southeast Asia.
“To remain economically competitive, we need to build an agile and adaptable workforce that is equipped to leverage new technology effectively. The new Oracle AI Centre for Excellence is a good example of how businesses can take the lead in workforce transformation, empowering our workers to become future-ready,” said Dr Tan See Leng, Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Trade and Industry, Singapore.
“The Oracle AI Centre of Excellence will empower individuals and organizations of all sizes across Southeast Asia with cutting-edge cloud and AI technologies, world-class training, and a dynamic environment for experimentation and innovation. It further strengthens our commitment to train thousands of students and professionals in Singapore and provide readily-available digital talent for the local workforce,” noted Garrett Ilg, executive vice president, Oracle, Japan & Asia Pacific.
Established as part of the Oracle Solution Centre, the Oracle AI Centre of Excellence offers both a digital and physical environment, equipped with the latest cloud and AI technologies.
The Centre is designed to help organisations train teams, experiment in secure cloud environments, and provide the knowledge needed to transform critical business operations, Oracle said.
Under training, the Centre of Excellence will provide organisations access to training sessions and certifications on latest cloud and AI technologies, led by Oracle University and ecosystem partners.
Under experimentation, organisations are envisioned to test early-stage AI innovations in secure cloud environments to address their biggest business challenges, exploring autonomous AI, AI-powered analytics, generative AI, machine learning, and AI agents across multiple industries such as public sector, healthcare, financial services, and telecommunications.
For business transformation, organisations can conduct their proof-of-concept projects in preparation for full-scale implementation.
Under implementation, organisations can quickly adopt new predictive, generative, and agentic AI features embedded in finance, HR, supply chain, sales, service, and marketing workflows to increase productivity, reduce costs, expand insights, and improve employee and customer experience.
Some of the Centre’s ecosystem partners include Accenture, Deloitte, Digital Realty, NCS, NTUC LearningHub, PwC, and ST Engineering.
