Detailed Notes
Budget 2026 elevates AI to an unprecedented level of priority. Core measures: a National AI Council chaired by the Prime Minister; the Enterprise Innovation Scheme's 400% tax deduction extended to AI spending; construction of the one-north AI district; the AI Mission programme focused on critical-sector applications; and a National AI Literacy Programme. This is the budget that takes Singapore's AI policy from strategy to full-scale execution.
