SAP Labs, NUS launch programme to train AI researchers

The programme aims to recruit and train nine researchers by 2030.

SAP Labs Singapore and the National University of Singapore (NUS) launched the Industrial Postgraduate Programme (IPP) to train artificial intelligence (AI) researchers.

Through the IPP, supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), SAP Labs Singapore plans to recruit and train nine researchers for its AI team in Singapore by the end of 2030.

New researchers hired through the IPP will also be recruited from NUS and will work on new research areas.

“SAP’s collaboration with NUS through the Industrial Postgraduate Programme will further strengthen the pipeline of AI talent in Singapore. It is a tangible example of an industry-academia partnership that equips our researchers with deep research capabilities to develop innovative AI solutions that are enterprise-centric,” Chan Ih-ming, executive vice president of EDB said.
