Meta has introduced its AI Accelerator programme to support 100 startups on their journey to harness the power of generative AI and Llama, Meta’s large language model.
Providing access to the latest open source models and resources in AI will help startups create breakthrough solutions to help shape the next wave of innovation.
The initiative will provide intensive support to 20 selected participants, connecting them with technical and business experts who will offer mentorship as they develop, refine, and launch Llama-powered solutions for their businesses. This hands-on approach is designed to accelerate AI adoption and innovation in Singapore.
Supported by Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), the initiative is aligned with Singapore’s National AI Strategy 2.0 that aims to promote the development and adoption of AI by businesses and startups.
“By empowering local enterprises with both technical expertise and mentorship, this initiative fosters innovation and helps businesses unlock new opportunities through AI,” said Philbert Gomez, Executive Director of DISG.
“It’s been incredible to see examples of the work that startups are doing with our Llama models to address major societal challenges within the Asia Pacific region. I’m very encouraged to see the vibrant developer community in APAC and how governments are welcoming AI innovation and the benefits it will bring to the region,” said Nick Clegg (top), President of Global Affairs at Meta.
