Enterprise Singapore's Driving Entrepreneurship with AI workshops

Driving Entrepreneurship with AI is an Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) series of hands-on workshops for small-business owners, micro-entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners in Singapore. The series is intended to help participants build practical AI capability and apply AI tools to functions such as marketing, inventory management and administration; EnterpriseSG describes expected benefits including reduced manual work, faster sales activity and new revenue opportunities (Enterprise Singapore, rechecked 6 October 2026). The series is capability-building training, not a cash grant or automatic AI funding entitlement.

Listed workshops and status

As listed on EnterpriseSG's page when rechecked on 6 October 2026, four workshops appear in the 2026 series: Driving Entrepreneurship with AI: Build Your Marketing Machine, delivered with Manus AI and Heicoders Academy on 13 May 2026; Customer Service and Operations, delivered with Claude and Republic Polytechnic on 2 July 2026; Turn Sales Data into Business Action, delivered with OpenAI and GrabAcademy on 27 August 2026 and again on 7 October 2026. The page marks registration for all four listed sessions as closed, including the 7 October session, and says more workshops may be added subject to EnterpriseSG's discretion (Enterprise Singapore, rechecked 6 October 2026). This is a snapshot of advertised sessions and registration status, not evidence of attendance, participant numbers or business outcomes, and the partner listings do not imply endorsement of every AI tool.

Participation and relationship to other support

EnterpriseSG states that seats are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with confirmation communicated by email; people who do not receive confirmation are directed to look out for future sessions or register interest. The page separately points to the Enterprise Compute Initiative, AI-enabled solutions for SMEs through the Productivity Solutions Grant, and other productivity and digitalisation initiatives (Enterprise Singapore, rechecked 6 October 2026). A workshop place therefore should not be treated as a grant approval, a guarantee of business results, or a substitute for assessing the eligibility and terms of other EnterpriseSG schemes.

How to distinguish the workshop series from AI adoption support

The workshop page presents capability building and adoption support as related but separate pathways. Driving Entrepreneurship with AI teaches participants how to use AI tools in practical business functions; it does not state that EnterpriseSG will purchase a tool, reimburse attendance, approve a particular vendor or assess a firm's compliance obligations. The same page links separately to the Enterprise Compute Initiative, which helps accelerate AI projects through cloud-service-provider tools and training, and to AI-enabled solutions for SMEs available through the Productivity Solutions Grant (Enterprise Singapore, rechecked 6 October 2026). Those linked programmes have their own application routes, qualifying conditions and support terms. A small-business owner can therefore use workshop learning to explore an operational problem, but must check the relevant programme page before treating a later AI purchase or project as supported. The listed collaboration with OpenAI, Claude or Manus AI identifies workshop content and partners; it is not a blanket government endorsement or funding decision for every product.
