Digital transformation has become one of the defining priorities for organisations over the past decade. 

What began as a push to digitalise customer touchpoints has since evolved into a broader effort to rethink business models, modernise legacy technology, strengthen cybersecurity and more recently, harness the power of artificial intelligence to improve productivity and create new sources of growth. 

And today, we’re going to revisit a company whose role in digital transformation has never been more important. 

Set up by global investment firm Temasek in 2021, our guest Temus works with government agencies and public institutions to enhance digital services, improve citizen experiences and drive national-scale transformation in line with Singapore’s Smart Nation vision to create a more connected, intelligent and efficient society. 

For instance, Temus teamed up with the Singapore Department of Statistics to design and deliver the SingStat Mobile App to enable fast access to official statistics. It also worked with a national education authority to reimagine Special Education experiences for students, parents, and staff alike through comprehensive service design.

On the private sector front, the company works with businesses to innovate, scale and thrive amid the ever-changing business environment, by helping them adopt what it calls human-centered digital solutions that drive real business outcomes.

And more things are brewing for Temus than before. In October 2025, the firm inked three new strategic collaborations with the Infocomm Media Development Authority in Singapore, as well as with insuretech player Peak3 and third-party AI assurance provider Resaro to accelerate AI transformation across Singapore. 

Fast forward to May 2026, it’s also launched an AI Foundry to expand Singapore’s AI talent base and strengthen production-grade AI delivery for enterprises. 

But what should we know about the moves by Temus to position itself as a transformation partner of choice for both the public and private sectors in Singapore? How will AI augment its growth trajectory?

On Under the Radar, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Sng Ren Yeong, CEO, Temus.
