EnterpriseSG will subsidise 50 per cent of the Microsoft Copilot licence costs for eligible SMEs for a 12-month period, with each firm being eligible to buy up to 50 user licences at the subsidised rate. The tie-ups are part of Microsoft’s AI Pinnacle Programme, which was launched in March 2024 with security services provider Certis, Home Team Science and Technology Agency, Mediacorp, engineering services firm Seatrium and national healthtech agency Synapxe.

Senior Minister of State for Communications and Information, and National Development Tan Kiat How, who was at the event, said that the Government is working with industry partners like Microsoft to upskill and reskill about 18,000 of Singapore’s tech professionals in the next three years, in areas such as AI and software engineering.
