Singapore and Germany have agreed to expand their cooperation in industrial AI as part of an updated five-pillar work plan, according to a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong emphasized the "enormous potential" of digital technologies, including AI, to transform economies and create new opportunities for businesses and workers.
Wong noted that the EU-Singapore Digital Trade Agreement serves as a foundation for cross-border digital transactions. Both countries aim to "go further" in developing and deploying industrial AI, leveraging their respective strengths to complement each other. The updated work plan includes initiatives in five pillars: trade, security, energy, and key technology areas such as AI, advanced manufacturing, green technologies, semiconductors, quantum, and space technologies.
