Anthropic to open Singapore office, fifth in Asia-Pacific
Anthropic is expanding its Asia-Pacific presence by opening a new office in Singapore next month. The move is driven by high per-capita usage of its AI model, Claude, in the region.
Why it matters
Singapore's emergence as a hub for AI adoption highlights the growing enterprise demand for generative AI tools in regulated sectors across Southeast Asia.
This marks the company’s fifth location in the Apac region
[SINGAPORE] Artificial intelligence company Anthropic will open its office in Singapore next month, marking its fifth location in the Asia-Pacific.
The expansion in the region is to support strong enterprise demand for its AI model Claude, said the firm in a statement on Wednesday (Sep 16).
It noted that Singapore has established itself as a “standout market” for Claude. Based on Anthropic’s latest Economic Index , the Republic ranks second globally out of 121 countries for Claude usage per capita. The data revealed that local adoption is running 5.81 times higher than expected relative to the nation’s population size.
The new office will join Anthropic’s existing regional network in Tokyo, Bengaluru, Seoul and Sydney. Senior company executives are scheduled to visit Singapore in October for the opening, where they will meet customers, partners and policymakers.
