A recent report from the Capgemini Research Institute highlights that 67 percent of businesses in Singapore are prioritizing artificial intelligence (AI) as their primary technology investment in 2025. This underscores AI’s growing importance in the region’s corporate landscape. The study, which surveys 2,500 business leaders from 17 countries, also indicates that 75 percent of Singaporean organizations plan to implement proof-of-concept (PoC) or fully adopt AI agents by the end of the year.
AI’s influence is particularly notable in cybersecurity, where more than 60 percent of businesses intend to deploy AI and generative AI technologies in PoC for enhanced security measures. Additionally, nearly a quarter of organizations in Singapore are set to deploy AI-powered robots at a partial scale in 2025, showcasing the expanding role of automation.

Seventy percent of business leaders from large organizations in Singapore are committed to increasing their investments in sustainability, with 60 percent also planning to focus on climate technology. Furthermore, 57 percent of leaders are prioritizing investments in supply chain enhancements, aligning with the global trend towards more agile, AI-supported, and environmentally responsible supply chains.
In addition to sustainability, customer experience and operational improvements are also key investment areas, with Singapore ranking highest globally in terms of business leaders planning to boost investments in these fields. Overall, 57 percent of executives’ express optimism about their organization’s prospects for 2025, reflecting a positive outlook despite current economic uncertainties. Capgemini’s findings emphasize that AI, along with sustainability and supply chain transformation, will be central to organizations’ strategies for maintaining competitiveness and fostering innovation in a rapidly evolving global market.
