Singapore leads region in race to next-generation AI

Businesses in Singapore are shifting from basic artificial intelligence experimentation to strategic deployment, recording the strongest demand for agentic AI across all markets surveyed in CPA Australia's Business Technology Report 2026. Local companies are increasingly focused on leveraging advanced AI tools to enhance productivity, performance, and competitive advantage.[1][2]

According to the report, 56 per cent of surveyed organisations in Singapore anticipate increasing their use of agentic AI over the next 12 months, marking the highest rate among all participating markets. As advanced AI tools gain broader momentum across enterprises, local priorities have transitioned toward deeper system integration, governance, and organizational resilience.[1][2]
