Temasek-Founded Aicadium Acquires Singapore AI Firm BasisAI

Strategic Expansion Plans Announced for the Newly Merged Artificial Intelligence Organisations

Aicadium, a global technology company founded by Temasek and dedicated to creating and scaling AI solutions, announced the acquisition of BasisAI, a Singapore-based provider of scalable and responsible artificial intelligence (AI) software.

BasisAI was co-founded by Liu Feng-Yuan, Linus Lee, and Silvanus Lee in 2018 to draw on their world-class experience in building scalable AI from Silicon Valley companies and seize the vast opportunity to build an AI powerhouse in the APAC region.

In 2019, BasisAI raised S$8.2 million (US$6 million) in seed funding from Temasek, a Singapore-headquartered global investment firm, and Sequoia India. One year later, the startup launched its proprietary end-to-end machine learning platform, Bedrock, which enables organisations to rapidly deploy responsible AI solutions.

Since then, BasisAI has gone on to deploy solutions for organisations such as DBS, UOB, OCBC, ComfortDelGro, the Singapore government, and Singapore Airlines, and has also partnered with global companies including Accenture, PwC, and AWS.
