Temus ramps up AI hiring, launches Foundry to support national impact in health and finance

This press release was issued by Temus.

• Focused on production-grade AI, the Foundry will hire 50 AI professionals to deliver live enterprise projects in financial services and precision health.
• Expanded partnership with AI Singapore will drive joint prototypes, multilingual models, reusable delivery frameworks and enterprise deployments.

Temus today launched an AI Foundry, supported by Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), to expand Singapore's AI talent base and strengthen production-grade AI delivery for enterprises.

The Foundry will hire, develop and deploy 50 Singapore-based AI professionals to build AI accelerators, governance frameworks, and delivery capabilities for enterprise AI.

Singapore's Economic Strategy Review (ESR), whose final report was published 13 May 2026, made clear that Singapore should be a place where AI generates measurable business and societal outcomes. With more than 70 AI Centres of Excellence already established across sectors, Temus' AI Foundry will build on these foundations to operationalise AI at production grade in response to that mandate - with the talent and delivery methods that translate AI ambition into live, enterprise projects.

Initial use-cases for the AI Foundry include -

• An agentic AI copilot for a leading investment company 
• A secure, internally hosted AI knowledge assistant for a specialised financial institution 
• An AI-powered lead management system for a regional telecommunications provider 
• A multi-agent vulnerability management solution for a leading security and integrated services company

Notably, they illustrate how the AI Foundry will support enterprises across precision health and financial services, in line with Singapore's National AI Impact Programme (NAIIP).

Talent as national AI asset

The ESR's recommendations also identified AI literacy and workforce transformation as a cross-cutting imperative, that AI adoption across the economy be tied to job redesign and skills upgrading, and that the gains from AI be shared fairly. The Foundry puts this principle into practice. Its 50 new roles — spanning AI architects, data scientists, AI/ML engineers, product owners, and full-stack, DevOps and UX engineers — will be embedded directly in live client work, building production-grade delivery capability while growing Temus' local talent base.

This builds on Temus' broader workforce transformation track record: Step IT Up, supported under IMDA’s TechSkills Accelerator (TeSA) initiative, has hired, placed and trained close to 80 Singaporean career-switchers into technology roles at a 100 per cent placement rate.

Deepening the AISG partnership

Temus and AI Singapore (AISG) have committed to deepening a partnership that began in April 2023, when the two organisations signed their inaugural MOU to accelerate AI innovation and adoption. The first agreement focused on catalysing digital transformation, promoting AI adoption, and developing new AI technologies for Singapore-based firms, including through AISG's flagship 100 Experiments (100E) programme.

Today’s expanded partnership extends the collaboration into exploring joint prototypes, reusable delivery frameworks and enterprise deployments that bring nationally developed AI capabilities into real-world operating environments. The partnership will also support multilingual AI use cases and the practical application of Singapore-developed models in enterprise settings.
