Announcement: Singtel’s Digital InfraCo accelerates sovereign AI innovations with Centre of Excellence for Applied AI with NVIDIA
Centre of Excellence for Applied AI
Rapidly accelerating AI innovation is paramount for driving disruptive progress. It means transforming advanced research into practical, market-ready solutions at an unprecedented pace, ensuring profound real-world impact and unlocking new frontiers across every sector.
Accelerating AI innovation
The Centre of Excellence for Applied AI, launched by Singtel Digital InfraCo in partnership with NVIDIA, is a sovereign AI innovation platform that enables organisations to securely develop, test and scale production-grade AI solutions.
By combining NVIDIA’s AI computing infrastructure with Singtel’s trusted network, cloud and data centre capabilities, the Centre of Excellence for Applied AI provides a secure environment for organisations to build and operationalise AI.
Organisations widely experiment with AI, but scaling beyond pilots is often hindered by infrastructure complexity, skill gaps, and rising AI compute demand.
The Centre of Excellence for Applied AI addresses this by providing a secure, trusted environment where ecosystem experts collaborate to solve real-world problems. Powered by RE:AI sovereign AI cloud, the Centre integrates:
Paragon’s orchestration capabilities for seamless workload management
Nxera’s AI-ready data centres for scalable, high-performance infrastructure
Singtel’s high-performance connectivity for low-latency, secure data movement
NVIDIA’s accelerated AI platforms for model training and inference
Together, this integrated ecosystem enables organisations to rapidly develop, deploy, and scale AI solutions with confidence, compliance, and performance.
