Vocalbeats.AI, a Singapore-based artificial intelligence (AI)-powered audio company, has announced a partnership with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) to establish the Vocalbeats.AI‑Turing AI Scholarship.

The scholarship aims to recognize and support exceptional undergraduates enrolled in the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS) at NTU, reflecting Vocalbeats.AI’s commitment to nurturing world-class talent in Singapore, Vocalbeats.AI said in a statement on Thursday.

Recipients of the scholarship will be encouraged to apply for internships, mentorships, and career pathways within the company, as Vocalbeats.AI continues to grow its team in tandem with the expanding global reach of its products and services.

“Voice AI is reshaping how people connect across languages and cultures. This scholarship is our commitment to ensuring we have the world-class talent to advance that frontier, and our experience working with NTU students and graduates has shown us what is possible when the brightest young minds take on real-world challenges,

“We look forward to creating more of those opportunities for students who are ready to build the future of voice AI with us,” said Marco Lai Jinnan, Chief Executive Officer of Vocalbeats.AI.

The scholarship comes at a time when demand for AI engineering talent continues to outstrip supply globally.

In Singapore, the National AI Strategy 2.0 has set an explicit goal of tripling the nation’s AI practitioner pool, calling directly on industry to co-invest in building that capacity alongside universities, including NTU.

“This partnership highlights the importance of industry-university collaboration in developing AI talent. The Turing AI Scholars Program at NTU combines rigorous training in AI and computing with masterclasses, hands-on research opportunities, and international immersion experiences,

“With Vocalbeats.AI’s support, our students will have valuable opportunities to engage with industry, apply their skills, and contribute to Singapore’s growing AI ecosystem,” said Professor Luke Ong, Dean of NTU’s College of Computing and Data Science and Vice President (AI & Digital Economy).

Vocalbeats.AI has already been contributing to Singapore’s AI talent capacity-building objectives.

In 2025, the company strengthened its university partnerships, welcoming students from local universities into its internship program.

One of the graduates from NTU has since transitioned into a full-time role and is currently contributing to the company’s research capabilities.
