Although Singapore has built an enabling environment for AI, further investment is needed to expand its innovation capacity, including emerging areas like goal-directed or agentic AI.
Singapore is ready to harness agentic AI as its next growth engine, as evidenced by its second-place ranking in global artificial intelligence (AI) readiness.
According to Salesforce’s Global AI Readiness Index, Singapore leads the world in AI regulatory preparedness and adoption, ranks second for investment environment and third in talent development. That performance rests on a solid regulatory framework, advanced digital infrastructure, close institutional coordination and a talent pipeline bolstered by a national upskilling strategy.
