EnterpriseSG partners with tech industry to boost AI capabilities for SMEs

The initiative includes the Microsoft Copilot for SMEs programme and the Applied AI programme at IHLs.

Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) has joined forces with the tech industry to introduce new artificial intelligence (AI) resources to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong announced.

The Microsoft Copilot for SMEs program, developed in collaboration with Microsoft and AI Singapore (AISG), aims to drive the adoption of Copilot for Microsoft 365 amongst companies.

Under this initiative, SMEs will work with Microsoft’s partners to implement Copilot for Microsoft 365 and undergo specialised training workshops to maximise its benefits for enhanced productivity. EnterpriseSG will subsidise 50% of the license costs for eligible SMEs, enabling each SME to purchase up to 50 licenses at a reduced rate for a 12-month subscription period.

Additionally, the Applied AI program at the Institutes of Higher Learning will provide tailored AI solutions for SMEs through partnerships with Nanyang Polytechnic and Singapore Polytechnic, starting in June 2024. The program will also offer a 50% subsidy for eligible SMEs.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
