Terry KS SINGAPORE, 27 JULY 2026 – Osome, the AI company management platform trusted by more than 50,000 tech founders and solopreneurs globally, is strengthening its support for the next wave of AI companies choosing Singapore as their regional base.
Singapore’s appeal continues to grow as leading AI companies establish a stronger presence in the country. OpenAI has committed S$300 million, or US$234 million, to Singapore’s AI ecosystem, while Cognition has established its APAC headquarters there. Anthropic and Tencent are also increasing their presence in the country.
Budget 2026 reinforces this momentum with a National AI Impact Programme, a new Kampong AI hub at one-north, and a 400% tax deduction on qualifying AI investments. Foreign companies can access these incentives by incorporating a Private Limited Company, which allows 100% foreign ownership and startup tax rates as low as 10% under the Startup Tax Exemption.
As more AI-native startups choose Singapore to build lean, global businesses, Osome helps founders navigate the incorporation process. Operating across Singapore, Hong Kong, the UK, and the UAE, the platform enables founders to incorporate a company in as fast as seven days while managing back-office operations including accounting, bookkeeping, and compliance.
Building on that support, Osome recently launched its Model Context Protocol server, turning founders’ preferred AI assistants into a business command center. Through Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, founders can securely retrieve transactions, shareholder records, financial reports, and other company data from a single AI interface.
AI-native and tech founders are already building with Osome. UpNComer founder Karan Dasgupta incorporated his Singapore company within days of switching to Osome, saving what he described as easily 20 hours every month. Dubai-based Aesty and Hong Kong’s Angelflow have reported similar gains, cutting bookkeeping from around a week of work down to just two hours a month.
Eugenio Ferrante, CEO of Osome, said that a few years ago, building a global company required a 500-person team and a massive regional office, but today a three-person AI startup can operate globally from Singapore with just a laptop. He said the biggest threat to founders isn’t competition but administrative drag, and that the new MCP server allows companies to manage finance and compliance through their AI assistant, freeing them to focus on building and serving customers.
