H2O.ai, a pioneer in sovereign AI and the world’s leading agentic and predictive AI company, and Certis Group, Singapore’s leading advanced integrated solutions provider, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to scale the use of AI across Certis, focusing on the deployment of agentic and predictive capabilities in operational environments. This partnership will strengthen operational resilience, better decision-making and safety across complex infrastructure and urban operations.
The MOU ceremony, attended by key executives from both organisations including H2O.ai Founder & CEO Sri Ambati, and Certis President & Group CEO Ng Tian Beng marks a significant milestone for both H2O.ai and Certis’ ongoing AI transformation journey. The collaboration will bring together both companies’ technologies, combining H2O.ai’s sovereign and predictive AI platform and capabilities with Certis’ Mozart AI orchestration platform. Together, they will deliver real-time situational awareness, risk anticipation, and operational planning across domains such as urban security, transportation, and critical infrastructure, while seamlessly coordinating people, processes, and autonomous systems in complex environments.
Sri Ambati, Founder & CEO of H2O.ai, said: “We are excited to collaborate with Certis, Singapore’s pioneering advanced integrated solutions provider. By combining H2O.ai’s sovereign and predictive AI capabilities with Certis’, we can democratize AI for good, enabling more efficient and responsible AI deployments that address real-world challenges in safety and sustainability.”
“At Certis, we operate in environments where decisions have real consequences, especially on safety, continuity, and public trust,” said Ng Tian Beng, President & Group CEO of Certis.
“As we scale our use of AI, the challenge is no longer experimentation, but how to standardise, govern, and industrialise AI reliably across operations. Partnering with H2O.ai strengthens our ability to do this responsibly, combining operational depth with robust AI capabilities,” he added.
Under the MOU, the two companies will explore joint initiatives, including:
- Co-development of AI models designed for orchestration, prediction, and decision support in security and operations contexts.
- Deploying and validating AI-enhanced systems, including robotics and predictive applications, in operational settings.
- Building organisational AI readiness through knowledge-sharing workshops to upskill workforces in AI literacy and ethical AI practices.
This partnership aligns with Singapore’s Smart Nation vision, supporting broader ambitions around building stronger AI infrastructure and democratising AI. This also builds on Certis’ recent recognitions, including its leaders being named among H2O.ai’s top 100 global AI influencers.
