SUMMARY:Observational Study Mission on Best Practices in AI for Green Productivity and Sustainable Transformation in Singapore
DESCRIPTION:Rapid advances in AI\, particularly Generative AI\, are transforming productivity\, innovation\, and competitiveness across industries. As organizations pursue Green Productivity (GP) and digital transformation simultaneously\, AI is increasingly being applied to optimize resource utilization\, improve operational efficiency\, enhance data-driven decision-making\, and support more sustainable production and service systems. Understanding how AI can contribute to productivity improvement while advancing sustainable transformation has therefore become an important priority for the Republic of China (ROC)\, especially in bridge the digital divide through AI adoption among MSMEs. \nSingapore has established itself as a leading AI hub through its National AI Strategy 2.0 and Smart Nation 2.0 initiatives. The Singaporean government\, through agencies such as AI Singapore and Enterprise Singapore\, has developed unique models\, including the 100 Experiments (100E) program\, to bridge the gap between academic research and commercial application. With a strong emphasis on AI governance\, talent development\, and sector-specific applications in healthcare\, finance\, and manufacturing\, Singapore offers a comprehensive ecosystem that balances innovation with responsibility. \nThis observational study mission will examine Singapore’s AI policies\, governance frameworks\, institutional support mechanisms\, and enterprise applications to identify best practices that can be adapted by the ROC. The findings are expected to support the application of AI in advancing GP\, accelerating sustainable transformation\, and strengthening the productivity of MSMEs.

SUMMARY:Strategic Review and Advisory on the Development of the Malaysia Productivity Blueprint and Action Plan (2026 – 2035) and Regional Knowledge Exchange at the 7th Asia KLEMS Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Malaysia is currently undertaking the development of its productivity blueprint and action plan for the proposed duration of 2026–35\, led by the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC)\, aligning with the Thirteenth Malaysia Plan (13MP) and MADANI Economy framework. \nDespite post-pandemic recovery\, Malaysia’s productivity trajectory remains below the required level to meet 13MP targets\, with labor productivity growth projected at 3.4% in 2025\, still below the 3.6% target. Key structural challenges include:\n– Uneven technology adoption among firms\, especially SMEs;\n– Skill mismatches and low creation of high-skilled jobs;\n– Fragmented policy coordination and weak implementation mechanisms;\n– Significant productivity disparities across states; and\n– Limited diffusion of innovation and firm-level capability gaps. \nThis new productivity blueprint and action plan aim to shift Malaysia’s productivity initiatives from a top-down to a data-driven\, bottom-up approach\, integrating firm-level\, sectoral\, and spatial strategies to contribute to the overall national productivity goals. \nFor more details please click here.
