“As Singapore advances toward Smart Nation 2.0, Temus is proud be partners on this journey, by bringing together public scale, private innovation, strategic partners, and talent to we deliver human-centric AI and digital transformation for lasting societal and economic impact” said Ng Lai Yee, Chief Executive Officer, Temus.
Lai Yee adds, “Temus is entering its next phase of growth with our clients to harness the full potential of Singapore’s AI era – and this is only the beginning.”
Resaro partnership to build and deploy trustworthy AI at scale
Temus and Resaro, both signatories of Singapore’s AI Verify Foundation, have signalled their intent in supporting the responsible adoption of trusted, enterprise-grade AI.
AI adoption is projected to deliver up to S$198.3 billion in economic benefits by 2030 in Singapore, but scaling from pilots to enterprise-grade systems will require stronger guardrails – ranging from MAS’ FEAT principles to the adoption of AI Verify as a national framework.
In this partnership, Temus will continue to deliver its strategic advisory capabilities in designing AI governance frameworks and orchestrating AI for business outcomes, while Resaro will serve as an independent, third-party AI assurance provider in evaluating AI solutions. Resaro’s platform automates and scales the evaluation of AI solutions against AI quality indicators that bridge business, governance and technical considerations, embedding assurance into the development lifecycle.
Sutowo Wong, Managing Director, AI & Data, Temus, said: “This isn’t about auditing AI after the fact; it’s about building trust into the very fabric of the AI development lifecycle. Our partnership with Resaro operationalises governance, providing a clear, automated path for our clients to move from pilot projects to production-ready systems with confidence. We are providing the essential toolkit for Singapore’s next wave of AI-powered transformation.”
April Chin, Co-CEO, Resaro, added: “Singapore is leading the world in responsible AI development, through initiatives such as AI Verify. As a premier member of the AI Verify Foundation and an independent AI assurance provider, our role is to ensure that AI solutions meet the highest standards of performance, safety, and security. This partnership with Temus bridges technical testing and evaluation with governance requirements and business adoption of AI.”
Peak3 partnership to accelerate AI-driven insurance innovation

Temus and Peak3 announced a commitment to work together in positioning the insurance sector as a potential growth frontier for AI acceleration. Peak3’s cloud-native platform currently supports over 2 billion policies and serves 50+ insurance partners globally, including leading names such as AIA, Prudential, Zurich and Income Insurance. Its core capabilities span policy administration, claims processing, and distribution enablement, providing a resilient backbone for insurers across multiple markets. With AI layered onto this foundation, the potential multiplier effect is significant.
Insurance is increasingly seen as a sector where digital adoption has lagged customer expectations, creating inefficiencies in operations and gaps in product relevance. Analysts predict that the global generative AI in insurance market is projected to grow from about S$1.03 billion in 2022 to S$19.4 billion by 2032, at a compound annual growth rate of 34.4%, reflecting the scale of opportunity for digital transformation. In Singapore, the integration of Smart Nation services and public sector datasets could further accelerate this shift through embedded insurance models – making protection more seamless, personalised, and relevant to citizens and businesses. Through today’s memorandum of intent, Temus and Peak3 aim to help the industry capture this potential.
Samuel Chong said: “Temus’ partnership with Peak3, aims to empower more Singapore-based insurers to move beyond experimentation into enterprise-grade AI. By building on Peak3’s proven platform, we can apply AI to sharpen efficiency, unlock new business models, and deliver more tailored customer experiences. Insurance is a sector ripe for this next stage of growth.”
Bill Song, Chief Executive Officer, Peak3, added: “With billions of policies managed on our platform and partnerships with leading insurers worldwide, Peak3 is uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of AI-powered insurance transformation. Through our partnership with Temus, we will combine proven capabilities and advanced AI to enable more insurers to realize the full potential of embedding secure, context-aware protection into everyday life at scale, while unlocking new value across the insurance ecosystem.”
Temus deepens collaboration with IMDA TeSA and AI Verify Foundation

This expanded commitment reflects Temus’ deepening partnership with IMDA and reinforces its pivotal role in shaping Singapore’s AI landscape and digital transformation. The collaboration complements Temus’ existing partnership under the TechSkills Accelerator (TeSA) initiative, further cementing its contribution to Singapore’s digital future.
Kiren Kumar, Deputy Chief Executive, IMDA, said: “We are pleased to expand our collaboration with local industry leaders like Temus through TeSA and AIVF. These partnerships are critical in developing tech talent and accelerating the deployment of trusted AI solutions that businesses and consumers can use with confidence.”
Temus expands its leadership team and commits to nurturing homegrown AI talent
Temus has announced its commitment to growing its digital and AI workforce through a comprehensive approach to capability development, both within the firm and across Singapore’s broader talent pipeline.
Central to this effort is the newly launched “T-Shape Community”, an in-house program designed to build AI fluency across all roles – technical and non-technical alike – by equipping employees with generative AI tools and practical know-how.
Concurrently, Temus continues to build on the strong momentum of its Step IT Up programme, an accelerated “hire, place, and train” career conversion initiative. Since its launch in 2022, Step IT Up has enabled close to 80 individuals from non-IT backgrounds to secure full-time technology roles at Temus, underscoring the company’s commitment to growing the Singapore core.
“Singapore’s Smart Nation 2.0 ambitions will only be realised when AI fluency becomes second nature across our workforce,” said Wu Chun Wei, Managing Director and Head of Cloud, Application & Platform, Temus. “We’re developing T-shaped professionals who combine deep AI expertise with cross-functional skills. This breadth and depth is crucial as AI transformation requires talent who understand both the technology and business context. That’s how we’ll truly partner clients to deliver on vision to value.”

Doing Good Index 2026: Asia’s US$753 Billion Philanthropic Potential Remains Unrealized
- Asia’s social sector is under strain: 78% of the 2,166 social delivery organizations (SDOs) surveyed report insufficient domestic funding.
- Asia is one of the fastest-growing regions for wealth creation, yet the policies and incentives needed to channel it toward social good are not keeping pace.
- Singapore has become the first economy to enter the “Doing Excellent” category, demonstrating what alignment across regulations, tax incentives, government partnerships and efforts to create a culture of giving can achieve.
- 84% of Asian SDOs surveyed apply the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their operations, pointing to their enduring value as a shared framework for coordination and collective action beyond 2030.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 June 2026 – Asia’s social needs are intensifying, and official development assistance is declining. Yet, while the region’s wealth is growing dramatically, the policies, incentives and partnerships needed to channel private capital toward social good are not keeping pace. That is a key finding of the Doing Good Index 2026, the fifth edition of CAPS’s flagship policy report, which assesses the enabling environment for private social investment across 17 Asian economies.
The report finds that while the enabling environment for private social investment is in place across much of the region, its effectiveness remains uneven. Improvements in registration processes and accountability mechanisms have been accompanied by persistent barriers, including restrictions on foreign funding, regulatory complexity, and inconsistent government engagement. In many cases, policies exist on paper but are not fully implemented in practice, limiting their impact.
At the same time, although trust in SDOs remains high across the region, broader ecosystem conditions, such as media sentiment, talent pipelines, and institutional support, are showing signs of strain. 81% of SDOs struggle to secure unrestricted funds for their work, while 73% report difficulty recruiting staff, constraining the sector’s ability to turn trust into impact.
“Asia has the wealth, the will, and in many economies, the foundations of a strong enabling environment. What is needed now is concerted, aligned effort to bring them together. The potential is enormous,” said Ruth Shapiro, Co-Founder and CEO, Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society.
Even as Asia’s wealth continues to grow, the region faces significant and intensifying challenges across climate, education and health. Official development assistance is declining, and there is increasing pressure on domestic resources at precisely the moment demand for social services is rising.
If Asian economies were to contribute just 2% of GDP to philanthropy, as the United States does, it could generate an estimated US$753 billion annually for social good. That represents 15 times the official development assistance flowing into the region, and almost half the financing needed to hit the UN’s SDGs in Asia. But realizing that potential depends on strengthening the policies, incentives and partnerships that enable private capital to flow toward social good. The Doing Good Index 2026 finds that across much of Asia, those conditions are not yet in place.
“The world has changed dramatically, and Asia can no longer rely on others to address its social challenges. The Doing Good Index 2026 shows the region has the potential to meet this moment, but only if governments and philanthropists act together to build the conditions that make it possible,” said Ronnie Chan, Chairman, Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society.
Singapore Shows What Alignment Can Achieve
Singapore has, for the first time, entered the top “Doing Excellent” category in the Doing Good Index 2026, reflecting years of deliberate effort to build a strong culture of philanthropy and civic engagement. Clear regulations, generous tax incentives, openness to foreign funding, and close collaboration between government and the social sector have created a strong enabling environment.
Singapore’s achievement demonstrates that when regulations, fiscal policy, ecosystem conditions and procurement work in concert, the outcomes are stronger. While no two economies will follow the same path, Singapore’s experience highlights the conditions that matter, such as the active promotion and alignment of philanthropy and giving across the whole of society.
The SDGs: Falling Short but Still Relevant in Asia
In the run-up to 2030, global progress toward the SDGs has fallen short of ambition, and Asia is no exception. Yet the Doing Good Index 2026 finds that 84% of SDOs continue to apply the SDGs in their work. Further, the rise of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting has not displaced them, because most SDOs see the two frameworks as complementary rather than competing.
As the deadline approaches, the Index points to their enduring value not as a target but as a shared framework for strategy, coordination and collective action in the years ahead.
Other Findings from the Report
- Talent shortages persist for Asia’s social sector: more than 70% of SDOs face difficulty recruiting and retaining staff across Asia.
- AI adoption is happening, but usage remains limited: only 13% of surveyed SDOs report using AI regularly.
- 39% of SDOs say claiming tax benefits is difficult, suggesting administrative barriers may be limiting the impact of existing incentives for giving.

About the Doing Good Index
Released biennially and now in its fifth edition, the Doing Good Index is CAPS’s flagship policy research that assesses the enabling environment for doing good in Asia: the systems, policies and practices that facilitate or constrain philanthropic giving and the deployment of this capital.
CAPS’s research team surveyed 2,166 social delivery organizations (SDOs) and conducted 132 interviews with sector experts across 17 Asian economies to provide a comparative, evidence-based view of where environments are supportive, where gaps persist, and how systems can be strengthened to better mobilize private resources for public good.
The Index looks at indicators under four sub-indexes: regulations, tax and fiscal policy, ecosystem, and government procurement, which provide an understanding of the specific measures economies have taken to catalyze philanthropic giving and promote social sector development.
Since its inception, the Index has been an essential resource for policymakers, philanthropists, and nonprofit leaders seeking to understand and improve the conditions for giving across the region.

- Production-Grade SLA Assurance: The Deterministic Execution Layer delivers committed and auditable SLA guarantees for critical inference workloads.
- Full Lifecycle Operability: Comprehensive monitoring, metering, and cost allocation capabilities that turn GPU resources into truly operable digital assets.
Model Hub: Highest Overall Score in Model Management Platform Evaluation
Beyond compute orchestration, the report underscores the strategic importance of enterprise-grade model management platforms. As a powerful complement to Rise vGPU, Phancy ModelHub enables enterprises to build a complete full-stack AI infrastructure — from compute to models and from resource scheduling to business delivery.
The white paper notes that Phancy ModelHub delivers leading performance in key areas such as Model & Chip Compatibility, Execution Stability & Performance, and Model-GPU Coordination & Scheduling, achieving the highest Overall Score. Through its unified model management and execution platform, ModelHub creates a seamless closed-loop process covering model onboarding, deployment optimization, inference services, and version governance — significantly lowering the barrier to model deployment and accelerating AI innovation.
Dr. Dai Wenyuan, Founder & CEO of Phancy, said: “The Frost & Sullivan white paper accurately captures the inflection point in AI infrastructure development. The recognition of Rise vGPU as a Tier 1 Leading Platform and ModelHub’s top Overall Score provide important authoritative validation of Phancy’s technology strategy and product strength.
