SAP Labs Singapore plans to hire and develop about 200 AI engineers to become one of the company’s key AI Hub and centre of excellence globally.
The SAP AI Hub will also employ highly-skilled development teams to build innovative embedded AI solutions and offerings for SAP customers around the world.
“That the potential of AI is within grasp, is thanks to the many engineers and developers of SAP Labs Singapore, together with the community of researchers, engineers, and developers around the world that are helping to use AI to improve business capabilities and employee resilience,” said Josephine Teo, Singapore’s Minister for Communications and Information and Minister-in-charge of Smart Nation and Cybersecurity (top interacting with AI talents at SAP Labs Singapore).
The expansion marks a milestone in the journey of SAP Labs Singapore, a digital innovation hub launched in March 2022 in partnership with the Economic Development Board (EDB).
Over the next two years, about 200 engineers will be hired to fill newly created roles in AI, with a focus on nurturing early-career talents from Singapore’s local universities and institutions of higher learning.
“When we launched SAP Labs Singapore last year, we aimed to employ more than 400 highly skilled digital professionals here by 2025. The expansion of AI capabilities is a major step towards that goal and furthers our mission to develop high-quality Singapore-based engineers with future-proof skills to build software and solutions for the world,” said Manik Saha, Managing Director of SAP Labs Singapore.
“Singapore has a strong National AI Strategy to drive innovation and adoption across our digital economy. With generative AI revolutionising many of our industries, changing how we work and how our customers are interacting with our software, Singapore organisations are looking to an experienced partner like SAP to help innovate and expand at scale with intelligence embedded responsibly into our business applications and processes,” said Eileen Chua, Managing Director of SAP Singapore.
