Anthropic opened its fifth Asia-Pacific office in Singapore on 14 October 2026 and signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Singapore’s Ministry of Digital Development and Information. The MOU covers cooperation in AI safety, security and model evaluation, research on AI adoption and its impact, and responsible adoption across the public and private sectors. Anthropic says Claude already powers services used by millions of people in Singapore, including at GovTech Singapore, Grab and DBS, and that GIC is rolling it out across its investment and corporate services teams.

Why it matters

Under the MOU, Anthropic plans technical exchanges with Singapore’s AI safety, security and assurance institutions on model evaluation, testing standards and incident response, and plans to share research and data with the government.
