新加坡：新加坡能源、贸易及工业部政务部长颜若芳周三（10月21日）表示，政府未来三年将拨出超过4500万新加坡元（约合3500万美元），帮助制造商采用人工智能。
SINGAPORE: The government has set aside more than S$45 million (US$35 million) over the next three years to help manufacturers adopt AI, Minister of State for Energy, Trade and Industry Gan Siow Huang said on Wednesday (Oct 21).
这笔资金将支持新加坡企业发展局（EnterpriseSG）的“催化式人工智能解决方案”先进制造业计划，旨在帮助制造商克服人工智能采用中的常见障碍，她表示。
The funding will support Enterprise Singapore’s (EnterpriseSG) Catalytic AI Solutions initiative for advanced manufacturing, which is aimed at helping manufacturers overcome common barriers to AI adoption, she said.
颜若芳在亚太工业转型2026会议上表示，该计划将帮助制造商获取可立即部署的人工智能解决方案，以提高生产力、优化效率并增强竞争力。
Speaking at Industrial Transformation Asia-Pacific 2026, Ms Gan said the initiative will help manufacturers access ready-to-deploy AI solutions to improve productivity, optimise efficiency, and strengthen their competitiveness.
为了让中小企业（SMEs）能够使用人工智能，新加坡企业发展局还将向这些企业提供一套人工智能解决方案，颜若芳表示。
To make AI accessible to small‑ and medium‑sized enterprises (SMEs), EnterpriseSG will also offer a suite of AI solutions to these businesses, Ms Gan said.
这些解决方案包括优化产品和部件设计、自动处理询价单文件，以及提升生产排程和预测性维护。
These include solutions to optimise product and component design, automate the processing of request for quotation documents and enhance production scheduling and predictive maintenance.
新加坡企业发展局将为符合条件的企业采用该套方案中的人工智能解决方案提供共同资助。
EnterpriseSG will co-fund eligible companies' adoption of AI solutions in the suite.
该机构周三在一份新闻稿中表示，这些解决方案可以减少人工工作和响应时间，提高设备可靠性，并帮助制造商保持产品质量的一致性。
The agency said in a media release on Wednesday that the solutions could reduce manual work and response times, improve equipment reliability and help manufacturers maintain consistent product quality.
随着更多行业需求和解决方案的识别，该套方案将随时间不断扩展。
The suite will be expanded over time as more industry needs and solutions are identified.
新加坡企业发展局表示，虽然许多中小企业认识到人工智能的潜力，但由于开发成本、缺乏行业特定解决方案以及对结果的不确定性，采用人工智能可能面临挑战。
While many SMEs recognise the potential of AI, adoption can be challenging because of development costs, limited access to sector-specific solutions and uncertainty over outcomes, EnterpriseSG said.
该计划旨在通过汇集人工智能解决方案提供商、系统集成商和行业协会来解决这些障碍，使中小企业能够使用经过验证的解决方案，而无需自行开发。
The initiative aims to address these barriers by bringing together AI solution providers, system integrators and industry associations, allowing SMEs to tap proven solutions without having to develop them independently.
这可以减少采用人工智能所涉及的时间、成本和复杂性，它补充道。
This could reduce the time, cost and complexity involved in adopting AI, it added.
甘耀明表示，一些中小企业已表示有意在新计划下采用人工智能解决方案。
Some SMEs have already expressed interest in adopting AI solutions under the new initiative, Ms Gan said.
星企局也在为物流和批发贸易领域开发催化型人工智能解决方案，更多细节将于日后公布。
EnterpriseSG is also developing Catalytic AI Solutions for the logistics and wholesale trade sectors, with more details to be announced at a later date.
该计划在新加坡推动在先进制造业加速使用人工智能之际推出，先进制造业是其国家人工智能使命计划针对的四个领域之一，另外三个领域是连通性、金融和医疗保健。制造业占新加坡国内生产总值的近20%。
The initiative comes amid Singapore’s push to accelerate the use of AI in advanced manufacturing one of four sectors targeted under its National AI Missions, alongside connectivity, finance and healthcare. Manufacturing accounts for nearly 20 per cent of Singapore’s GDP.
甘耀明表示，目标不仅仅是增加人工智能的使用，而是要转型制造业。
Ms Gan said the goal was not simply to increase the use of AI, but to transform the manufacturing sector.
“我们的目标是重新构想制造业，以提升我们的制造业产出和生产力，”她补充道。
“Our aim is to reimagine manufacturing to grow our manufacturing output and productivity,” she added.
人工智能制造卓越中心进入下一阶段 新加坡人工智能制造卓越中心（AIMfg）也将进入下一阶段，获得2030年研究、创新和企业计划的支持。
AI CENTRE FOR MANUFACTURING ENTERS NEXT PHASE Singapore’s AI Centre of Excellence for Manufacturing (AIMfg) will also enter its next phase, supported by the Research, Innovation and Enterprise 2030 plan.
“AIMfg将加强其能力，以解决更复杂、更具关键任务性质的制造问题，支持端到端的人工智能赋能转型，并，重要的是，将人工智能采用扩展到更广泛的制造商基础，”甘耀明表示。
“AIMfg will deepen its capabilities to tackle more complex and mission-critical manufacturing problems, supporting end-to-end AI-enabled transformation and, importantly, scaling AI adoption to the broader base of manufacturers,” Ms Gan said.
AIMfg由星研局和能源、贸易及工业部于2024年共同设立，甘耀明表示，AIMfg在推动人工智能转型和采用方面取得了强劲进展。
Jointly established by A*STAR and the Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry in 2024, Ms Gan said AIMfg has made strong progress in driving AI transformation and adoption.
它已与航空航天、半导体、制药和能源等领域的30家制造商合作，完成了23个部署人工智能解决方案的项目。
It has collaborated with 30 manufacturers in sectors such as aerospace, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and energy, completing 23 projects in which AI solutions were deployed.
“（AIMfg）还将更广泛地利用我们研究和创新体系的优势，与我们的高等学府、前沿人工智能初创企业和技术提供商合作，开发相关的、可直接应用于行业的人工智能解决方案，”甘耀明表示。
“(AIMfg) will also draw more extensively on the strengths of our research and innovation system, working with our institutes of higher learning, frontier AI start-ups, and technology providers to develop relevant, industry-ready AI solutions,” Ms Gan said.
新加坡企业的人工智能采用率也有所增长，2025年近四分之一的企业采用了该技术，而一年前约为七分之一。
AI adoption among Singapore businesses has also grown, with nearly one in four adopting the technology in 2025 up from about one in seven a year earlier.
甘耀明周三还宣布启动新加坡具身人工智能制造挑战赛，汇聚研究人员、行业参与者、初创企业和全球人才。
LAUNCH OF AI CHALLENGE FOR MANUFACTURING Ms Gan on Wednesday also announced the launch of the Singapore Embodied AI Challenge for Manufacturing, bringing together researchers, industry players, start-ups and global talent.
具身人工智能将人工智能与机器人技术和物理系统相结合，使机器能够在现实世界中感知、推理和行动。
Embodied AI combines AI with robotics and physical systems, allowing machines to perceive, reason and act in the real world.
她说，参赛者将为现实世界中的行业问题开发具身人工智能解决方案，并拥有通向商业部署的路径。
Participants will develop embodied AI solutions to real-world industry problems, with a pathway towards commercial deployment, she said.
首届挑战赛由国家机器人计划、A*STAR和PINE Lab@NTU主办，将以芯片制造商美光提供的半导体制造用例作为起点。政府还推出了其他措施，帮助企业采用人工智能。
Organised by the National Robotics Programme, A*STAR and PINE Lab@NTU, the inaugural edition will start with a semiconductor manufacturing use case provided by chipmaker Micron. The government has also rolled out other measures to help businesses adopt AI.
在2026年预算案中，政府宣布，企业创新计划将扩大至涵盖符合条件的人工智能支出，而生产力解决方案补助将涵盖更广泛的数字和人工智能赋能解决方案。
At Budget 2026, the government announced that the Enterprise Innovation Scheme would be expanded to cover qualifying AI expenditure, while the Productivity Solutions Grant would cover a wider range of digital and AI-enabled solutions.
预算案还推出了人工智能冠军计划，支持希望利用人工智能转型业务的公司。
The Budget also unveiled the Champions of AI programme to support companies looking to use AI to transform their businesses.
“我们需要将生态系统的所有要素汇聚在一起的平台——拥有需要解决问题的制造商；拥有想法和解决方案的技术提供商和研究人员；以及能够将这些解决方案从试点推向部署的合作伙伴和人才，”甘耀明说。
“We need platforms that bring all the elements of the ecosystem together – manufacturers with problems that need to be solved; technology providers and researchers with ideas and solutions; and partners and talent who can take these solutions from pilot to deployment,” Ms Gan said.
