Partnering to apply frontier AI to advance health and life sciences, reimagine classrooms and support the workforce of the future.

At Google DeepMind, we believe frontier AI can be a powerful force for good. Last year, we opened a new research lab in Singapore to expand the impact of our work across the Asia-Pacific region. Today, we are taking a major step forward. As part of our National Partnerships for AI initiative, we are launching new programmes in the country, while driving a key pillar of Google’s new National AI partnership with the Singapore Government.

Through our work with multiple organisations, we are partnering to support public sector transformation, foster business growth and empower workers to thrive in an AI-first world. The partnership focuses on addressing real-world challenges—including improving healthcare, accelerating scientific discovery and reimagining education—to ensure these technological breakthroughs translate into meaningful progress across Singapore’s diverse communities. Together, we are strengthening Singapore’s National AI Strategy to responsibly deploy AI at scale for economic growth and public benefit. Ultimately, by accelerating science and innovation, AI could create an additional S$ 3.3 billion (US$2.5 billion) in economic value through faster R&D by 2040.

Addressing complex societal challenges

At the heart of this partnership is a shared commitment to accelerating local research and development that turns frontier AI potential into real, inclusive progress. Our team on the ground in Singapore is working alongside local experts to apply frontier AI responsibly to areas where it can have the most meaningful impact for and with the community, starting with healthcare and life sciences.
