Listen "E70: Singapore’s AI Masterplan: $1B investment, 300 firms, $3,000/month reskilling—what Europe is missing"

Episode Synopsis

This episode unpacks how Singapore’s forward‑leaning AI strategy commits $1B over five years, funds 300 local companies with up to S$500,000 each to build internal AI teams, and catalyzes private capital to accelerate real adoption.Most striking: anyone over 40 can reskill for 12–24 months with S$3,000 per month while local model options drive costs down—and regulators update existing laws instead of creating paralyzing mega‑frameworks.The outcome is an AI hub with net‑new, AI‑native companies and a structural lead, while Europe debates; the call to action is to audit strategies against Singaporean standards and learn faster via Asian partnerships.LinksConnect with Malcolm on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/malcolmwerchotaWerchota AI: https://www.werchota.ai#AIDataSecurity #ChatGPTEnterprise #MicrosoftCopilot #EnterpriseAI #DataPrivacy #GDPR #AICompliance #CyberSecurity #DigitalTransformation #AIGovernance #TechLeadership #DataProtection #CloudSecurity #AIStrategy #EnterpriseTechnology
