H2O.ai and CTC Global Singapore have announced a strategic collaboration to accelerate enterprise AI adoption across the Asia Pacific region.
The partnership addresses key challenges faced by APAC enterprises, including transitioning beyond proof-of-concepts into production at scale, delivering measurable business outcomes, and standardizing on a single governable platform for both predictive and generative AI. Together, the companies aim to close the gap between AI ambition and real enterprise value by combining advanced AI technology with strong local implementation capabilities.
The collaboration integrates H2O.ai’s AI platform with CTC Global Singapore’s integration and delivery expertise. This enables business users to leverage intuitive tools while maintaining full control, governance, and security by design. The solution is particularly suited for secure and regulated environments, supporting stringent requirements around explainability and auditability.
“The last mile of Enterprise AI is 99 miles,” said Sri Ambati, CEO of H2O.ai. “Our partnership with CTC Global Singapore bridges that critical gap of local implementation outreach for our Banking, Telco and public sector customers in Asia bringing Agentic AI to life, combining GenAI and Predictive AI in a secure, explainable, and scalable way. Whether it’s on-premise, private cloud, or air-gapped deployments, we’re delivering AI that enterprises can trust. We want to raise a forest, not just a tree, and co-innovation and partnerships like this helps the entire ecosystem grow.”
“This collaboration is about democratizing AI for real-world impact. By integrating H2O.ai’s platform into our ecosystem, we are helping customers move from experimentation to execution—securely, cost-effectively, and with robust data ownership and deployment flexibility. Our partnership has already achieved significant traction within the financial services industry, but this is just the beginning. Our goal is to bring the transformative power of AI to all sectors, delivering sustainable value and capturing new growth opportunities in the broader market.” said Peh Swee Hong, Chief Technology Officer of CTC Global Singapore.
“As the AI landscape continues to evolve, CTC Global Singapore is uniquely positioned to meet the rising demand for enterprise-grade AI at scale. This partnership reinforces our commitment to 'Challenging Tomorrow’s Changes' by ensuring our clients have the expertise and resilience to lead in an AI-driven era.” said Yoshihiko Ito, Managing Director of CTC Global Singapore.
The partnership will primarily focus on the public sector, financial services, and manufacturing industries, where demand for Agentic AI continues to grow rapidly. The platform’s built-in explainability, auditability, and governance features make it well-suited for regulated environments across APAC.
