Vocalbeats.AI, NTU Singapore Partner To Launch AI Scholarship

KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 (Bernama) -- Vocalbeats.AI, a Singapore-based artificial intelligence (AI)-powered audio company, has partnered with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) to establish the Vocalbeats.AI‑Turing AI Scholarship.

The scholarship aims to recognise and support outstanding undergraduates from NTU’s College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS), in line with the company’s commitment to developing AI talent.

Vocalbeats.AI Chief Executive Officer, Marco Lai Jinnan in a statement said voice AI is reshaping how people connect across languages and cultures.

“This scholarship is our commitment to ensuring we have the world-class talent to advance that frontier, and our experience working with NTU students and graduates has shown us what is possible when the brightest young minds take on real-world challenges,” he added.

Meanwhile, Dean of NTU’s College of Computing and Data Science and Vice President (AI & Digital Economy), Professor Luke Ong said the collaboration underscores the importance of industry-academia partnerships in developing AI talent and providing students with practical exposure.

Recipients will have opportunities to pursue internships, mentorships and potential career pathways within the company as it expands its global operations.

The initiative comes amid growing global demand for AI engineering talent, which continues to outpace supply. In Singapore, the National AI Strategy 2.0 aims to triple the country’s AI practitioner pool, with industry playing a key role alongside universities.

Vocalbeats.AI has also strengthened its engagement with universities through internship programmes, with one of the NTU graduates transitioning into a full-time role and currently contributing to the company’s research capabilities.
