In short

AI services in Singapore

AgilityTech provides AI consulting, generative AI, custom models, data engineering and automation for Singapore organisations in financial services and wealth management, trade, shipping and logistics, biomedical and pharma, and regional technology headquarters. Work follows PDPA and, for finance, the MAS FEAT principles. We have no Singapore office: a senior team delivers remotely across most of the SGT business day and ships to production in 3 to 8 weeks.

Why Singapore

AI for a finance, trade and research hub

Singapore's economy rests on a few strong pillars: financial services and wealth management, trade, shipping and logistics around the Port of Singapore, biomedical and pharma manufacturing, and the regional headquarters of technology companies. Each of them runs on documents, data and decisions that have to be right and explainable, which is where well-governed AI earns its place.

In finance, that means designing models and assistants with the MAS FEAT principles of Fairness, Ethics, Accountability and Transparency in mind. In trade and logistics, it means reading shipping and customs documents and predicting delays before they become problems. In biomedical and pharma, it means making research and quality records searchable, and in regional HQs it means internal assistants and automation for teams that serve many markets at once.

AgilityTech builds these systems from scoping to production in 3 to 8 weeks, with 200+ deployments behind us. We do not have an office in Singapore. Delivery is remote, by senior engineers in India, two and a half hours behind SGT, so we overlap most of your business day.

The market

Policy that pushes adoption, rules that keep it safe

The government has set a clear direction. The National AI Strategy 2.0 (NAIS 2.0), launched in December 2023, focuses on AI talent, business adoption and infrastructure. At Budget 2025 it announced the Enterprise Compute Initiative (ECI), S$150 million to help enterprises adopt AI with cloud providers through compute credits and consulting support. Adoption is moving: among SMEs it rose from 4.2% in 2023 to 14.5% in 2024, and among larger enterprises from 44% to 62.5%.

The rules are just as clear. The Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), overseen by the PDPC, governs personal data. The Model AI Governance Framework from the PDPC and IMDA sets out how to deploy AI responsibly, and AI Verify is IMDA's toolkit for testing AI systems. We build to these from the first sprint. We can also help scope work that fits ECI-style programmes, but we are not an approved ECI vendor or partner, and eligibility is decided by IMDA and the programme.

Why Agility

Why Agility for Singapore

Governance built in

We document data sources, testing and decision logic in line with the Model AI Governance Framework, and design finance work around MAS FEAT, so your risk and compliance teams can review what we build.

Fast and senior

Production in 3 to 8 weeks, staffed by senior AI and ML engineers, backed by 200+ deployments. Teams that want to grow their own capability can also hire senior AI developers to work alongside their people.

PDPA-aware and deployable privately

Where data must stay in your environment, we deploy to a private cloud or on premises, with audit trails and role-based access, and we work on SGT hours across most of the business day.

How it works

How engagements work

A clear path from idea to production, measured in weeks, not quarters.

  1. 01Days

    Discovery

    A free consultation and short scoping sprint to pick the highest-value use case, check the data it needs and agree clear success measures.

  2. 02Short sprints

    Build

    Senior engineers build in short sprints on SGT hours and demo working software at the end of each iteration, so your team keeps control of direction.

  3. 033 to 8 weeks

    Deploy

    We ship to production in your cloud, a private cloud or on premises, with monitoring, audit trails and a documented handover.

FAQ

AI services in Singapore: common questions

Does Agility have an office in Singapore?

No. AgilityTech does not have an office in Singapore, and we would rather say so plainly. Every engagement is delivered remotely by senior engineers based in India. India runs on IST (UTC+5:30), two and a half hours behind Singapore Time, so our team overlaps most of the Singapore business day for calls, demos and reviews.

Can you build AI for banks, insurers and wealth managers regulated by MAS?

Yes. For financial services we design models and assistants with the MAS FEAT principles (Fairness, Ethics, Accountability and Transparency) in mind from the start: documented data sources, fairness checks on the groups that matter for the use case, explainable outputs, human review where decisions affect customers, and audit trails your risk and compliance teams can inspect. We work alongside your own model risk process rather than replacing it.

How do you handle PDPA and data residency?

We design every system around the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), which the PDPC oversees: collect only the personal data the use case needs, restrict access by role, log what the system does, and keep data where your policies require it. If data must stay in Singapore or inside your own environment, we deploy to your cloud region, a private cloud or on premises, and our engineers work within the access you grant. We also follow the Model AI Governance Framework from the PDPC and IMDA when we document how a system makes decisions.

How long does a typical project take?

Most focused AI systems go from scoping to production in 3 to 8 weeks. That covers a short discovery sprint, a build in short iterations with working demos, and a production deployment with monitoring and handover. Larger programmes are split into stages so each one ships something usable.

Can you help with the Enterprise Compute Initiative or other grants?

We can help you scope AI work in a way that fits programmes such as the Enterprise Compute Initiative (ECI), the S$150 million scheme announced at Budget 2025 to help enterprises adopt AI with cloud providers. We are not an approved ECI vendor or partner, and we cannot promise eligibility: that is decided by IMDA and the programme itself. What we can do is define the use case, the compute it needs and the outcomes clearly, so your application and your project plan line up.

What hours do you work, and how do you communicate?

We plan meetings and reviews inside the Singapore business day. Because India is only two and a half hours behind SGT, most of your working day overlaps with ours, so stand-ups, demos and urgent questions do not wait until the next morning. Day-to-day work runs on your tools, such as Slack or Teams, Jira and your own repositories.

Which AI models do you use?

We choose the model for the job rather than for the brand. That can be a hosted large language model from a major provider, an open-weight model running in your own environment when data must not leave it, or a smaller classical machine-learning model when that is cheaper and easier to explain. For finance and other regulated work we often favour models we can deploy privately and test thoroughly, and we can use IMDA's AI Verify toolkit as part of testing.
