Most organisations are still in the early stages of AI adoption, focusing on individual productivity rather than enterprise-wide transformation. The harder challenge lies in rethinking how people, processes and AI work together to deliver meaningful business impact.

Across the demos, we saw different takes on how Agentic AI could be applied to real business challenges, with teams exploring practical ways to improve workflows, support decision-making and create value for SMEs.

None of this would have been possible without the support of our partners Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), who helped bring the hackathon to life and support the journey from build sprint to Finale Demo Day.

And while today puts the spotlight on our finalists, this journey has been shaped by many people along the way.

A huge thank you to our Qualifying Round judges Mr Calvin Chu, Mr Kenneth Zhu, Ms Neha Kumar Saraf, Mr Wilson Wan and Dr Wang Yun Long for rigorously assessing each teamโ€™s problem, solution and technical ex*****on, and identifying the standouts for the Finale.

And to our Finale judges Ms Amy Huang, Mr Brandon Lee, Mr Lee Yee Fung, Mr Luis Carlos Cruz Huertas, Mr Shamir Rahim and Mr Vishesh Kumar, thank you for bringing your experience and industry perspective to the final round, and for evaluating the real-world potential of each solution.

A special shoutout as well to the ๐—ก๐—จ๐—ฆ-๐—œ๐—ฆ๐—ฆ ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐˜๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐˜†๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—บ๐˜€ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ, led by Dr Esther Tan, for supporting participants throughout the build sprint.

And to every team that took part, thank you for taking on the challenge, experimenting boldly and turning ideas into something real.

The sprint may be over, but the bigger goal remains. To keep turning emerging technology into practical solutions that can help Singaporeโ€™s SMEs work smarter, move faster and create new possibilities for growth.

As supply chains become more connected, the challenge is no longer just optimising individual operations, but enabling organisations across the network to make better decisions together.

Governments, industry, technology providers, academia and research all have a part to play in building the digital, data and governance foundations needed for greater connectivity.

As AI continues to reshape supply chains, the bigger opportunity may not simply be to automate more, but to help the entire network work better together.

The partnership was formally established on 23 August 2019, when NCS Group and NUS-ISS signed a Memorandum of Understanding to nurture digital talent and develop the workforce of the future. Seven years on, that commitment continues to deliver meaningful outcomes through Nucleus, NCS Group โ€™ work-study programme.

Through NUS-ISSโ€™ stackable learning pathways, ๐—ก๐—–๐—ฆ employees can progress from Graduate Certificates towards a NUS Master of Technology degree, while applying their learning directly to real-world projects.

The impact to-date speaks volumes. 1,706 Graduate Certificates have been attained by ๐—ก๐—–๐—ฆ employees, while 68 employees have earned a NUS Master of Technology degree in Software Engineering or Enterprise Business Analytics , including 61 graduates at the July 2026 NUS Commencement.

At the celebration, ๐—ก๐—–๐—ฆ CEO ๐— ๐—ฟ ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„ also acknowledged NUS-ISS for the partnership and its continued role in supporting the professional growth of ๐—ก๐—–๐—ฆ employees.

We are deeply appreciative of the trust and partnership NCS has placed in NUS-ISS over the years. More than qualifications, this collaboration is about developing people, strengthening digital capabilities and building a sustainable pipeline of talent for the future.

We look forward to continuing this journey with NCS, and creating even greater impact together.

AI can make an organisation more productive. But it can also expose where the organisation is not ready.

That was one of the themes shared by ๐— ๐—ฟ ๐—ฉ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—–๐—ต๐˜‚๐—ฎ, Deputy CEO of NUS-ISS , during the panel discussion ๐™„๐™ฃ๐™ซ๐™š๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐˜ผ๐™„ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™‹๐™š๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™š at the ๐—ก๐—จ๐—ฆ ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—™๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ.

As Victor put it, ๐—”๐—œ ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ซ-๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜†. ๐—œ๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ.

Build a chatbot, for example, and it may quickly expose that knowledge is scattered across emails, chats, documents and peopleโ€™s heads. The challenge is then not simply AI readiness. It is knowledge management.

AI may also reduce the time needed to draft a proposal from weeks to minutes. But if the proposal still takes weeks to move through layers of review and approval, the bottleneck has simply moved elsewhere.

The question, therefore, should not only be: โ€œ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—œ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ?โ€

It should first be: โ€œ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜†๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—น๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ?โ€

The discussion also explored what AI means for people and learning.

As AI takes on more routine work, organisations need to think carefully about how people will still build judgement and expertise.

Learning is not always meant to be efficient. It needs struggle, toil, mistakes and sometimes even apparent non-productivity.

From a productivity lens, that friction looks like something to remove. From a learning lens, ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ, ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐—ด.

And as AI becomes more capable, perhaps what becomes rare is not knowing what AI knows, but having ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐˜†, โ€œ๐—ก๐—ผ, ๐—œ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ.โ€

The panel was moderated by ๐—”๐˜€๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฐ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ถ ๐—ž๐—ฎ๐—ต ๐—›๐—ถ๐—ป, Dean of the NUS School of Continuing and Lifelong Education - SCALE , and also featured ๐— ๐˜€ ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฒ ๐—˜๐—ถ๐—ผ of Raffles Medical Group , ๐— ๐˜€ ๐—”๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐—ป of Singtel , and ๐——๐—ฟ ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ต ๐—–๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—›๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฒ of ST Engineering .

Thank you to all the panellists for a thoughtful conversation on how organisations can invest not only in AI, but also in the people who will work alongside it.
