SBF launches world’s first generative AI tool dedicated to global trade advisory

It partnered with 6 organisations for regional trade and investment connectivity.

The Singapore Business Federation (SBF)’s Centre for the Future of Trade and Investment (CFOTI) has launched the Trade AI Advisor (TAIA), the world’s first generative AI tool dedicated to global trade advisory.

According to SBF, the TAIA simplifies complex trade rules, providing clear guidance on free trade agreements, tariffs, and compliance requirements for the business community.

SBF also announced partnerships with six organisations that would benefit regional trade and investment connectivity, build enterprise capabilities, and co-develop practical solutions for businesses navigating the turbulent global trade environment.

These organisations include DBS Bank Ltd, DHL Express (Singapore), Pacific International Lines, PwC Singapore, Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP, and Temasek Foundation.

The announcement was made at a seminar on ‘Navigating US Tariff: Adapt and Advance’ attended by close to 600 business leaders, policymakers, and trade experts on 9 September.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
