Singtel to partner with DISG to speed up AI transformation

Alliance will support AI talent development, governance frameworks, and enterprise AI deployment.

Singtel will team up with Digital Industry Singapore (DISG) to support the first phase of a multi-year AI transformation programme.

The collaboration will help Singtel strengthen its AI capabilities across talent development and hiring, governance and technology frameworks, and enterprise advisory and implementation expertise.

The initiative forms part of a strategic partnership between Singtel Group and Digital Industry Singapore to accelerate AI transformation across Singtel’s businesses.

Singtel Singapore is integrating AI across customer engagement, network operations, and enterprise services to improve responsiveness, efficiency, and resilience.

In customer care, AI will support agents and customers through real-time assistance, intelligent routing, and conversational AI.

Singtel said the first phase will focus on developing an AI-native telco roadmap, deploying agentic AI and AI/ML capabilities, building AI-native talent, establishing a trusted AI operating model, and creating reusable AI solutions and deployment playbooks.

Singtel has already trained around 13,000 employees in Singapore. It plans to train all Singapore-based employees in AI, with 3,000 to be developed as AI practitioners and 300 as AI specialists.

The initiative is also expected to create new high-value AI-related roles and support large-scale upskilling and reskilling across the organisation.

No financial terms were disclosed in the announcement.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

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