Singapore – Visier, a workforce AI solutions company, has recently unveiled the introduction of its new AI Lab in Singapore, with the goal of advancing the company’s leadership in workforce AI.
Backed by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), the new lab will focus on the continued development of the company’s generative and agentic AI solutions. This encompasses Vee, Vee Boards, and its recently introduced AI Agent Platform.
This latest update also comes after Singapore’s Parliamentary 2025 Budget announcement, which prioritises AI adoption and skills transformation to enhance workforce capabilities.
With initiatives like the Enterprise Compute Initiative, businesses can now access consulting services and computing resources that will allow them to leverage analytics and AI for greater efficiency and productivity.
“As challenging labour market dynamics and macro trends compound globally, the mandate for Workforce AI continues to expand well beyond HR, reaching every corner of the C-suite and across business functions,” said Ryan Wong, co-founder and CEO of Visier.
He further added, “Our deep investments in AI are driven by recognition that every company on the planet needs to fundamentally transform their workforce productivity to survive and thrive over coming decades. The Visier AI Lab in Singapore is instrumental to accelerating Visier’s already substantial AI investments.”
Visier marked the launch of its AI Lab with an exclusive event attended by guests from Singapore’s Economic Development Board (EDB), Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), AI Singapore, and key customers like Micron Technology.
Said event underscored the company’s commitment to fostering collaboration among industry leaders, government, and academia to advance workforce AI innovation.
Also talking about the endeavour, Boon Huat Lee, chief growth officer for Asia Pacific at Visier, stated, Workforce AI is the next frontier in business transformation. As leaders are expected to achieve high growth rates, they are also faced with declining employee engagement, talent shortages and plateauing productivity growth.”
“Visier provides organisations with the ability to unify people and work data to better understand their employees and the work they’re doing, enabling every organisation to improve productivity and business impact,” explained Boon.
Meanwhile, Philbert Gomez, executive director and head of Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), remarked, “EDB welcomes Visier AI Lab, which strengthens our position as an AI innovation hub for fast-growing companies to create global solutions from Singapore. It reflects the capability of our ecosystem to partner with companies that conduct AI innovation.”
“The Visier AI Lab is aligned with the National AI Strategy 2.0 to accelerate the use of AI to uncover business value, with its AI Agent Platform demonstrating how innovations help customers better utilise their people-related data to create custom workforce solutions and automate tasks,” he said.
Edwin Low, director for enterprise ecosystem development of the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) of Singapore, also commented, “With the launch of Visier AI Lab, we are excited by Visier’s commitment to foster the growth of the AI ecosystem in Singapore and beyond. We believe this initiative will drive innovation in workforce analytics and position Visier at the vanguard of AI-powered solutions, empowering organisations with insights to make smarter, data-driven decisions for their people.”
Looking ahead, Visier aims to double the size of its workforce in both its AI Lab and APAC regional office within the next two years to support its expansion.
Located in Asia Square, the lab is positioned at the centre of Singapore’s dynamic business district, reinforcing Visier’s belief in the region’s growth potential.
