The AI Accelerate programme by BLOCK71 Singapore and Microsoft, supported by Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), is a 10-week initiative designed to help AI-driven startups refine products, scale globally, and unlock funding opportunities.
The focus areas of the programme include tailored support to work on product–market fit, localising for Asia, or speeding up go-to-market; expert mentorship with Microsoft specialists and BLOCK71 mentors who have scaled products and raised capital across the world; access to a global network of founders, corporates, and investors across the BLOCK71 and Microsoft ecosystems; and access to funding through up to S$1.2 million Proof of Concept (PoC) and Proof of Value (PoV) grants under Startup SG, enabling pilot projects with enterprise clients.
Startups eligible for this programme must be post-MVP with traction, oriented towards B2B or scalable B2C models, have Artificial Intelligence at the core of their product, and be rooted in Asia with a global ambition. They must also be privately held, with the exclusion of entities such as educational institutions, government organisations, personal blogs, and crypto mining operations.
