AI consulting and engineering firm Tomoro, has announced the opening of its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore.

The new office will serve as Tomoro’s regional command centre for designing, building and scaling production grade AI solutions for large enterprises across finance, healthcare, consumer goods, media and beyond.

The firm whose leadership is split across Edinburgh and London, previously announced in May 2024 a £4m investment in building a ‘world class AI team in Edinburgh’. In the 12 months since that announcement, the firm has stated that it has quadrupled employees across the firm and increased monthly revenue by more than 10x.

“Our growth in Scotland over the last 12 months has been a core part of our overall 1000% monthly revenue growth as a business and given us the strength to move further afield, initially focusing on the APAC region from our new Singapore base,” said Ed Broussard, co-founder and managing director.

Co-founder Albert Phelps has moved from the United Kingdom to head the Singapore hub, bringing Tomoro’s rapid-delivery playbook – typically 8 – 12 weeks from concept to live deployment (such as launching an AI support agent to 110 million users in 12 weeks) to a region experiencing record demand for enterprise AI.

“We loved Singapore, this was clearly the natural launch-pad for our APAC growth” said Albert Phelps, co-founder of Tomoro.

“Within 48 hours of touching down in Singapore it was obvious that it has world-class AI talent and deeply ambitious clients – the core components that are needed to build industry changing AI solutions.”

“Enterprises in Asia-Pacific are racing to embed AI deeply into their core operations”, said Ed Broussard, managing director at Tomoro.

“Our priority is to ensure they achieve this swiftly, safely, and at scale – combining local talent with our proven accelerators and benefiting from our close Alliance with OpenAI. Singapore positions us perfectly to help ambitious companies across the region turn their AI vision into measurable competitive advantage.”
