Univers, a global leader in AI for Energy, has officially launched the world’s first Global Impact AI Lab (IAL) in partnership with AMD, Microsoft, and the National University of Singapore (NUS), with support from Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). This groundbreaking initiative aims to fast-track enterprise-scale AI and IoT/Edge innovation through a powerful incubation program that combines top-tier technology, governance, and academic expertise.
Designed to deliver edge-to-cloud intelligence at remarkable speed and scale, IAL brings together leaders from technology and industry to accelerate AI-driven transformation across energy, infrastructure, transportation, and manufacturing sectors. By uniting these key industries, the lab seeks to unlock systemic value through three core areas of efficiency:
