SIT and NVIDIA launch AI research centre at Punggol campus

The SNAIC also launched the SNAIC AI Programme in collaboration with IMDA under the TeSA initiative.

The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) has officially opened the SIT x NVIDIA AI Centre (SNAIC) at its Punggol campus.

The centre is a joint initiative with NVIDIA aimed at advancing applied AI research, accelerating industry adoption, and supporting Singapore’s AI talent pipeline.

Described as a first-of-its-kind collaboration, SNAIC is the first formal partnership between the NVIDIA AI Technology Centre and a university with a dedicated focus on scaling AI adoption through applied research partnerships.

To build workforce capacity, SNAIC has launched the SNAIC AI Programme in collaboration with IMDA under the TeSA initiative.

The six-month programme—comprising two months of training followed by four months of industry projects—aims to train over 200 AI practitioners within three years. Participants will receive stackable micro-credentials under SIT’s CSM Pathway.

The centre also supports SIT’s Applied AI Doctoral Training Centre, which plans to enroll 10 industrial doctorate students annually to tackle complex, industry-focused AI challenges. Currently, 19 postgraduate researchers and research engineers are hosted at the centre.

SNAIC’s strategic partners include companies and academic institutions such as Prudential, SMRT, Monash University, Chulalongkorn University, and Vietnam National University–University of Economics and Law (VNU-UEL).

Collaborations span talent exchange, joint research, and AI application development.

Applied AI projects with SMRT were featured at the launch, including a Generative AI-powered safety investigation tool, AiDiSA for sentiment analysis and automated case reporting, and an AI lifestyle recommendation system integrated with the Wink+ app.

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.
