Gov’t to allocate $150m for AI, supercomputing initiative

It also introduced the hybrid quantum-classical computing 1.0 initiative.

The government will be allocating $150m in funding to the Enterprise Compute Initiative for businesses to access resources for artificial intelligence and supercomputing.

“The National Supercomputing Centre has another pilot initiative with Digital Industry Singapore to support small and medium-sized enterprises and local start-ups to access supercomputers,” Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo said during the Supercomputing Asia 2025.

The minister also added that the government will take a further step to seed capabilities in hybrid quantum-classical computing through the new HQCC 1.0 initiative.

HQCC marries the capabilities of classical high-performance computing for large-scale data processing with quantum computing’s capacity for solving highly complex problems.

“Through this initiative, we aim to develop HQCC infrastructure to build a critical mass of engineering and scientific talent, and foster industry collaborations to apply HQCC in relevant sectors,” Teo said.

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.
