Key conditions
The participating company must commit internal manpower and technical resources and work with the programme's cloud and consultant partners toward an MVP and implementation roadmap.
For any project where timing matters, applicants should avoid making irreversible commitments before confirming the programme's pre-start requirements. Where the scheme is discretionary or delivered through an appointed partner, the agency or programme partner retains the final decision on eligibility and quantum.
How and when should you apply?
ECI is administered by Digital Industry Singapore and has a live programme/application route.
Is this scheme relevant to your project?
A strong fit is: A digitally mature company with a defined business problem, usable data, executive sponsorship and internal team capacity to implement an AI MVP.
A weak fit is: A company seeking generic cloud credits without a credible AI use case or internal delivery resources.
