Singapore’s Oriental Remedies Group plans to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to traditional Chinese medicine services by tapping on Oracle via the government’s Enterprise Compute Initiative (ECI).
“By leveraging Oracle’s advanced AI infrastructure, we aim to drive digital transformation – enhancing patient experience, automating critical processes, and unlocking data-driven insights to deliver superior clinical outcomes,” says Beatrice Liu, Oriental Remedies Group’s chief executive officer and co-founder.
Oriental Remedies Group is among the 300 local enterprises that Oracle will support through the ECI, which is designed to help companies establish in-house AI teams and centres of excellence.
Oracle's commitment includes up to $250,000 per participating company in cloud credits, training, certifications and workshops delivered through its AI Customer Excellence Center in Singapore. For organisations requiring private cloud infrastructure (including critical infrastructure sectors that cannot use public cloud services), Oracle will sponsor up to $1.9 million per company for Oracle Private Cloud Appliance and Oracle Exadata deployments.
The Singapore government will separately subsidise 70% of AI consultancy costs, capped at $105,000 per enterprise, to help companies progress from pilot projects to operational systems.
Participating organisations will receive support to train staff, test applications in secure environments, and run proof-of-concept projects across healthcare, financial services, telecommunications and public sector use cases.

Companies can explore agentic AI, generative AI, machine learning, and analytics using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, with AI capabilities embedded in Oracle Fusion Cloud applications, deployable across finance, human resources, supply chain, sales, and customer service operations.
“Through the Oracle AI Customer Excellence Center and our participation in the Enterprise Compute Initiative, we are making AI accessible for Singapore enterprises—including the 11 Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) sectors that handle sensitive data—which will help them stay ahead in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape,” says Garrett Ilg, Oracle’s executive vice president for Japan and Asia Pacific.
Philbert Gomez, senior vice president and executive director of Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), adds: “This collaboration [with Oracle] will accelerate companies’ AI ambitions in Singapore, strengthening our position as a global AI hub that unlocks competitiveness through the technology ecosystem here.”
ECI is overseen by DISG, a joint office of the Economic Development Board, Enterprise Singapore and the Infocomm Media Development Authority. Oracle joins Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft as participating providers in the $150 million ECI programme.
