Red Hat has opened an AI centre of excellence in Singapore, backed by the Economic Development Board, to station forward-deployed engineers who help organisations move AI projects beyond proof-of-concept into production. The CoE starts with about 18 people, including FDEs, architects, and project managers, and may grow with demand. It aims to shorten the feedback loop from Asia-Pacific customers to Red Hat engineering and to build reusable architectures while contributing to upstream open source. Red Hat positions the center around platform foundations for reusable AI agents, agent identity, governance and safety, and helping customers host open-weight models rather than only consuming tokens via APIs. Singapore’s Defence Science and Technology Agency signed an MoU to collaborate through the CoE on AI, cloud, application modernization, edge, DevSecOps, and day-two operations, building on prior work. DSTA emphasizes upfront safeguards against agent risks such.
