EQUAL Compute Network is an IDRC-funded initiative to address compute inequities limiting Global South participation in frontier AI research. The network supports researchers, public-interest compute providers, and policy actors in Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia to evaluate compute needs, build shared compute infrastructure, develop pooled access models, and inform national AI compute strategies.
Sub-grants fund research nodes, pilot deployments of shared compute clusters, and policy analysis on compute access. Aligns with the wider AI4D portfolio and complements Canadian and EU compute sovereignty initiatives.

Startup SG Tech is Enterprise Singapore's flagship grant for early-stage deep-tech startups commercializing proprietary technology, including AI, robotics, agentic systems, and machine learning. Proof of Concept (POC) grants up to SGD 250,000 fund early R&D feasibility, while Proof of Value (POV) grants up to SGD 500,000 fund later-stage prototyping and validation with industry partners. AI startups using Singapore as a regional Asia-Pacific base can use Startup SG Tech to fund model development, vertical AI applications, agentic deployments, and integration with Singapore's National AI Strategy 2.0 priorities.
Singapore's Enterprise Compute Initiative (ECI) is a SGD 150M government program providing Singapore enterprises with cloud compute credits, AI consultancy services, and structured guidance on integrating AI into operations. Co-delivered by Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), Enterprise Singapore, IMDA, and hyperscaler partners (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Alibaba Cloud), the program supports vertical AI deployments, agentic workflow automation, and AI talent buildout in Singapore-headquartered or significantly Singapore-operating enterprises. Co-funding model with enterprise contribution required.
AGILE (Agile and Rapid Defence Innovation) is a new fast-track funding programme proposed by the European Commission in March 2026 to accelerate the deployment of defence technologies from development to operational use within 1-3 years. The initial pilot allocates at least €115 million to support approximately 20-30 projects. AGILE focuses specifically on disruptive defence innovations including mission-driven AI systems for military decision-making and situational awareness, autonomous systems, quantum computing, advanced robotics, drones, and counter-UAS (C-UAS) technologies. Unlike traditional EU programmes, AGILE provides up to 100% funding for all eligible costs and includes a retroactive clause allowing companies to claim expenses incurred up to 3 months before the application deadline. The programme aims to reduce the application-to-grant period to just 4 months, dramatically faster than existing EU instruments. AGILE is designed specifically to support small and medium-sized enterprises and startups with innovative defence technologies. The programme is pending formal adoption by the European Parliament and Council and is expected to become operational in 2027.
