Kyndryl Launches AI Innovation Lab in Singapore
Kyndryl's new Lab will employ approximately 50 AI professionals to accelerate AI adoption and support growth agendas across Southeast Asia.
Kyndryl, a provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, announced Tuesday the launch of its ASEAN AI Innovation Lab in Singapore. The Lab will offer responsible enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) solutions with advanced security features across Southeast Asia.
Kyndryl’s new ASEAN AI Innovation Lab will advise customers in adopting AI capabilities, merging technologies and software and platform engineering solutions through Kyndryl Consult. The Lab will also include a co-creation experience with Kyndryl Vital, allowing customers to tackle complex and real-world business challenges through design-led thinking.
It will employ approximately 50 local AI specialists, including data scientists, data engineers and AI developers, and help organizations understand responsible AI technologies with use cases and live demonstrations.
Partnering With Google Cloud
«By partnering with Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), Google Cloud and other ecosystem players, we aim to scale trustworthy and high-impact AI solutions that enable businesses to move faster and smarter with responsible AI principles at the core,» Andrew Lim, Managing Director, Kyndryl ASEAN and Korea, said.
Kyndryl is working with Google Cloud and Digital Industry Singapore (DISG) to help Singapore-based companies accelerate AI transformation through the AI Cloud Takeoff program under DISG’s Enterprise Compute Initiative (ECI). As a launch partner for Kyndryl’s ASEAN AI Innovation Lab, Google Cloud is providing access to Vertex AI, BigQuery, Agent Development Kit (ADK), and Google Agentspace to enable AI solution development and business growth.
Proven Infrastructure
The Lab will help customers operationalize AI through proven infrastructure and cloud-native architectures. Working with Digital Industry Singapore (DISG) and Singapore’s top universities and research institutions, customers can cultivate AI talent and build reusable assets and services to help future-proof their workforce and innovation efforts.
Additionally, the Lab’s AI experts will help organizations implement robust governance, privacy and security frameworks to address compliance and regulatory mandates, while also creating energy-efficient and cost-effective AI solutions that will reduce carbon footprints and computing costs.
Readiness Report 2025
Kyndryl’s recently launched People Readiness Report 2025 reveals a striking gap between AI investment and workforce preparedness. It notes that 95 percent of businesses have invested in AI, yet 71 percent of leaders say their workforces are not yet ready to successfully leverage technology.
