EnterpriseSG, UOB launch AI programme for 200 F&B businesses

Six in 10 local operators use mostly standalone digital systems, a survey found.

Enterprise Singapore and UOB have launched an initiative to support at least 200 food and beverage (F&B) businesses in adopting integrated digital and artificial intelligence (AI) systems over the next two years.

The Food & Beverage AI and Digital Integration Programme provides eligible businesses with advisory support from UOB’s SME Banking division to identify suitable digital and AI tools.

They may also adopt solutions and integration services curated by the partnership at preferential rates, with EnterpriseSG offering up to 50% funding support.

The two organisations will also conduct capability-building workshops for participating businesses.

The initiative comes as a UOB survey conducted in June found that six in 10 local F&B operators had most of their digital solutions running as standalone systems.

About one in three had yet to adopt AI tools, it added.

The programme was announced by Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling at Restaurant Asia 2026.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
