EDB, Thales ink MOU to launch AI accelerator platform

The platform will boost Thales’ R&D capabilities in Singapore.

The Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with France’s Thales to launch the AI accelerator platform, cortAIx SG.

cortAIx SG will identify critical challenges and develop high-impact AI solutions for Thales' business units across Singapore and beyond.

It will also boost Thales’ R&D capabilities and long-term innovation footprint in Singapore through the development and implementation of trusted AI systems in complex and mission-critical environments.

The centre will focus on projects to boost knowledge use, improve planning, and support decision-making; raise efficiency; and advance human-autonomy teaming.

Thales will partner with the Singapore government and local ecosystem to develop domain and tech capabilities, aiming to deliver ethical, transparent, explainable, and effective AI solutions.

“The launch of cortAIx SG by Thales will add new capabilities to Singapore’s growing AI and innovation ecosystems and builds on Thales’ longstanding presence in Singapore. We look forward to the impactful AI-enabled solutions cortAIx SG will develop in partnership with our ecosystem for Singapore and the region,” Cindy Koh, executive vice president at EDB, said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
