From Experimentation to Enterprise: Making AI Impactful at Scale Holistically

AI has captured the imagination of every boardroom, but imagination alone doesn’t translate into impact, with many organisations now asking what it takes to turn vision into value.

In Singapore, the foundational layers are already in place: GPU infrastructure is available, cloud platforms are mature, and AI talent pipelines are growing. However, the real challenge lies in transforming this foundation into a sustained, tangible impact. Indeed, despite this strong starting point, many organisations remain mired in experimentation.

The real challenge today is not access to infrastructure; it’s orchestration. The complexity lies in managing distributed systems, coordinating resource allocation and enabling secure, multi-tenant environments that can scale across departments. These are no longer just technical concerns; they are strategic bottlenecks that determine whether AI efforts stall or succeed.

Across large organisations, the demand for AI is rising fast. However, when teams build their own stacks, run separate pipelines and silo data, fragmentation takes over, leading to idle GPUs, duplicated effort and slow time to value.

This is where the concept of an AI Factory with multi-tenancy becomes transformative. Instead of spinning up isolated AI projects, organisations can centralise core capabilities, allowing teams to plug in with intent. Multi-tenancy enables resources to be shared intelligently, securely and at scale. It marks a shift from fragmented efforts to a unified AI backbone powering multiple engines of innovation.

To move forward, organisations need a use-case framework – a clear, collective view of what’s possible, what’s practical and what truly delivers value. This becomes a map that separates quick wins from moonshots and prioritises initiatives with scalable, repeatable impact over those with limited return. Without this lens, efforts become scattered and resources are often spent solving the wrong problems.

In this context, doing less becomes a strength. It sharpens focus on what drives results, faster.

The core challenge facing organisations today is no longer the acquisition of GPUs or the development of advanced models. Rather, it lies in the consolidation and alignment of AI ambition across departments, ensuring that resources, talent and time are not expended on duplicative efforts, but are channelled toward driving enterprise-wide progress.

Achieving this requires a fundamental shift in mindset: from infrastructure-led strategies to outcome-oriented execution; from fragmented ownership to intelligent, collaborative sharing; and from siloed initiatives to platforms built for scale and longevity.

Singapore possesses the essential ingredients for AI leadership. However, the next phase demands greater clarity, on strategic direction, organisational priorities and on the transformative outcomes AI is expected to deliver.

AI is not a checkbox on a digital roadmap; it is a force multiplier. Those who approach it with deliberate focus, holistic integration and a long-term vision will set the standard for what meaningful, future-ready transformation looks like.

The session will allow delegates to:

  • CONSOLIDATE resources and demand to maximise utilisation and eliminate duplication
  • ADOPT a holistic AI approach to drive sustained, real-world outcomes
  • PRIORITISE high-impact, feasible use cases to focus efforts where they deliver the most value
  • NAVIGATE AI deployment complexity by anticipating risks and sustaining clarity at scale

Organised by

OpenGov has over 20 years’ experience in providing a platform enabling collaboration. The last 5 years, solely to Public Sector within the Asia Pacific Region, including Australia and New Zealand. We are a team that has revolutionised the traditional conference platform, having developed a method to return real and tangible value to the delegates that attend. By creating an environment that enables and enhances true collaboration and knowledge exchange, OpenGov enhances the experience which provides true insights from lessons learnt. These insights are delivered from, and by the many leaders in government agencies from around the world that attend these events. These events cover ICT, Health, Education and Crisis Assessment Response Effectiveness (CARE). Our team has been past winners of the "Best CEO Level Conference in Asia" award.

In speaking with over 500 Government ICT officials this year, we have detailed the challenges many government CIO’s face. Due to the ever changing digital environment, CIO's struggle to keep up with all these changes. To assist these CIO's, OpenGov has embarked on a journey of exploration, finding solutions and best practice examples to assist CIO's in bridging this knowledge gap.

OpenGov has organised many types of events. These events being small training seminars, large scale conferences and industry based exhibitions. They specifically focus on Government, in the areas of Public Sector ICT, Health care and Education. To add further value to these events, we have included private sector representation, which has further expanded on our knowledge based and understanding in the delivery of services to our citizens.
