Infineon Technologies has unveiled plans to set up a global artificial intelligence (AI) development hub in Singapore, where it will launch 25 AI projects by 2023. It also plans to partner local organisations to offer AI courses and certifications.

The move is part of the German chipmaker's digital transformation efforts and will see more than 1,000 of its employees "upskilled" across the AI value chain in Singapore. The company has been operating in the city-state for half a century, where its history began as Siemens, assembling discrete transistors and diodes, and passive components, according to a statement released Tuesday.

Infineon said it planned to work with the local semiconductor, electronics, and innovation communities to develop AI applications, pointing to partners such as startups, institutes of higher learning, research institutes, and government-owned investment firm, SGInnovate. The chipmaker said these companies could tap its datasets to build their products and services.
