NCS plans to increase its pool of forward-deployed engineers from 100 to over 300 within two years, the company announced on October 29 at the opening of its AI Mission Centre in Ang Mo Kio. The centre aims to help organisations move AI projects from proof of concept to large-scale deployment. Forward-deployed engineers work within client teams to develop AI solutions, understand business needs, and redesign core processes. NCS chief executive Sam Liew said the expansion will come from reskilling existing staff and external hiring.
The launch was officiated by Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo, who emphasized the importance of action in implementing AI strategy, citing infrastructure, skilled people, capable enterprises, and supportive policies as key. NCS also signed memorandums of understanding with Changi Airport Group, the Institute of Mental Health, and Life3 Biotech to develop AI tools for runway surveillance, patient care, and micro-organism production, respectively.
