Enterprise Compute Initiative (ECI)
The Enterprise Compute Initiative (ECI) is a S$150 million Government-backed programme to accelerate AI and cloud adoption in Singapore-based businesses. The ECI connects enterprises with major Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to access cutting-edge AI tools, cloud credits, and consultancy services to develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The programme runs for one year from the respective launch dates of each CSP, with multiple cohorts deployed on a staggered timeline. Companies that are able to progress quickly can complete the programme earlier than six months. The ECI is led by Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), under IMDA, with support from EnterpriseSG, GovTech, and the Smart Nation Office.
