H2O.ai, a pioneer in sovereign and agentic AI, and Certis Group, Singapore’s leading advanced integrated solutions provider, have entered a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to accelerate the industrialisation and democratisation of AI across Certis’ operational environments. The partnership focuses on deploying agentic and predictive AI capabilities to strengthen decision-making, safety, and resilience in complex domains such as urban security, transportation, and critical infrastructure.
The MOU was signed in a ceremony attended by key executives, including H2O.ai Founder & CEO Sri Ambati and Certis President & Group CEO Ng Tian Beng, signifying a major step forward in both organisations’ AI journeys.
Sri Ambati, Founder & CEO of H2O.ai, said: "We are excited to collaborate with Certis, Singapore’s pioneering advanced integrated solutions provider. By combining H2O.ai’s sovereign and predictive AI capabilities with Certis', we can democratize AI for good, enabling more efficient and responsible AI deployments that address real-world challenges in safety and sustainability."
“At Certis, we operate in environments where decisions have real consequences, especially on safety, continuity, and public trust,” said Ng Tian Beng, President & Group CEO of Certis. “As we scale our use of AI, the challenge is no longer experimentation, but how to standardise, govern, and industrialise AI reliably across operations. Partnering with H2O.ai strengthens our ability to do this responsibly, combining operational depth with robust AI capabilities.”
The partnership will explore several joint initiatives:
By integrating H2O.ai’s sovereign AI platform with Certis’ proprietary Mozart orchestration platform, the collaboration aims to deliver real-time situational awareness, proactive risk anticipation, and coordinated operational planning. This enables seamless orchestration of human teams, processes, and autonomous systems in high-stakes, dynamic settings.
The partnership aligns closely with Singapore’s Smart Nation vision, contributing to the development of robust AI infrastructure and the responsible scaling of AI for public good. It also builds on Certis’ recent recognition, including its leaders being named among H2O.ai’s top 100 global AI influencers, underscoring the organisation’s leadership in operational AI adoption.
