Singapore/ Jakarta [Indonesia], December 16: Synvo AI, a deep-tech spin-off from MMLab Nanyang Technological University (MMLab@NTU) Singapore, and Sobat Bisnis Group (SBG), a leading Indonesian enterprise technology company with deep ties to the multi-billion-dollar Mayapada Group, announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the commercial adoption of next-generation Artificial Intelligence across Indonesia and Southeast Asia. The core of this alliance addresses the critical market gap for enterprise-grade AI that ensures data sovereignty, long-term context retention, and reliable deployment across complex business environments.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) solidifying a joint commitment to long-term AI and digital transformation outcomes was signed by Saim Yeong Harng, CEO and Co-Founder of Synvo AI, and Matthew Setiawan, Chief AI Officer and Co-Founder of SBG, who is also a third-generation leader within the Mayapada Group.
Synvo AI provides the technological foundation, emerging from MMLab@NTU's globally recognised research with a proprietary Contextual Memory Engine and privacy-preserving intelligence. This stack is uniquely engineered for high-speed processing, massive data retention, and highly secure operations across cloud, private cloud, and fully offline on-premise environments, a key requirement for organizations managing sensitive proprietary data.
SBG, leveraging its existing customer trust and the strategic access afforded by its long-standing relationship with the Mayapada Group, provides the critical market pathway and enterprise end-to-end technology integration expertise. SBG will immediately begin integrating Synvo AI's capabilities into its solutions for high-impact use cases such as advanced document intelligence, cross-system workflow optimization, and hybrid AI systems that preserve visual-language-model (VLM) context while delivering high task-level accuracy.
This partnership positions Synvo AI for rapid regional expansion while giving SBG a clear technological advantage, amplified by SBG's strong consulting capabilities and market credibility. The collaboration demonstrates strong commercial momentum, research-backed innovation, and a clear go-to-market strategy to deploy scalable, secure, and context-aware AI, starting in Indonesia.
Saim Yeong Harng, CEO of Synvo AI, said:
"The partnership with SBG allows us to bring deep-tech research into large-scale enterprise deployment. Together, we aim to make AI adoption faster, safer, and more accessible for organisations across the region."
Matthew Setiawan, Chief AI Officer (CAIO) of SBG, added:
"Synvo AI's technology gives us a powerful foundation in AI to build solutions that are both cutting-edge and production-ready. This partnership strengthens our ability to help enterprises realise measurable value from AI."
