The opening of the centre coincides with TCS' 40th anniversary in Singapore, and is the company's first AI-powered innovation hub in the world.
Responding to media queries, TCS shared that the centre aims to work with 50 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), 10 local startups, and all local autonomous universities within the next 12 months.
Speaking at the launch, Punit Agarwal, country head of Singapore at TCS, said that the facility will focus on providing support to SMEs to adopt digital technologies.
It was also revealed that this was the first phase of setting up the research and innovation centre. The next phase, which is an expansion of the current facilities, will be opened sometime next year.
'The space will enable TCS customers and partners to work closely with experts to co-develop, prototype, and scale AI-powered solutions that address real-world business challenges, focusing on innovation across public services and industry sectors,' noted TCS.
The event's guest of honour, Minister of State for Trade and Industry Alvin Tan said that the opening of the innovation centre in Singapore aligns with the goal of National AI Strategy 2.0, where the government hopes to anchor AI capabilities in the Republic.
'I am encouraged by TCS' customer-centric approach towards digital transformation and adoption, and its commitment to helping partners innovate and offer solutions that build their customers' confidence and trust.'

Singapore private property owners who sell homes within 4 years must pay seller's stamp duty
SINGAPORE: Private property owners who sell their homes within four years will incur a seller's stamp duty, the Ministry of National Development (MND) announced on Thursday (Jul 3). The seller's stamp duty (SSD) holding period will increase to four years, up from three years. The SSD rates will also increase by 4 percentage points for each tier of the holding period, the ministry changes will take effect for all residential properties purchased on and after Jul 4, 12am. The revised SSD will not affect HDB owners due to the Minimum Occupation Period for HDB flats, MND said. The SSD is payable by those who sell a residential property within a specified period after purchase. In 2017, this period was reduced from four to three years, and the SSD rates were also reduced by four percentage points for each tier of the holding period, said MND. In recent years, the number of private residential property transactions with short holding periods has increased sharply. In particular, there has been a significant increase in the sub-sale of units that have not been completed, it added. Therefore, the government will revert to the pre-2017 SSD holding period of four years, and raise the SSD rates by four percentage points for each tier of the holding period, it said.
