[Cohere](https://cohere.com/?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com) has [announced](https://www.prnewswire.com/apac/news-releases/cohere-launches-defence-ai-accelerator-in-singapore-to-advance-secure-enterprise-grade-ai-deployment-for-sovereign-customers-302927241.html?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com) a Defence AI Accelerator in Singapore for defence organisations and other sovereign customers seeking to move AI projects from proof of concept toward deployment in secure environments.

The company says participants would work with its engineers to build and test applications, integrate them with existing systems, and apply governance controls. Its North platform supports on-premises, hybrid and air-gapped deployment, giving buyers options for keeping sensitive data and infrastructure under their control.
