wit with  an Axiom at SME Summit 2025: Driving AI Adoption and Digital Transformation for SMEs

Axiom was proud to be part of the SME Summit 2025, a flagship event bringing together business leaders, tech innovators, and solution providers to explore the future of small and medium enterprises in Singapore. This year’s summit highlighted the power of AI-driven productivity, digital enablement through government grants, and sector-specific solutions like eldercare AI — all areas where Axiom is actively supporting local businesses.

Empowering SMEs with AI & Copilot for Microsoft 365
At the heart of our participation was a strong message: AI is not just for large enterprises. SMEs can harness its full potential today.

Through our live sharing session, we introduced Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, showing how businesses can seamlessly integrate AI into their daily workflows using tools they already rely on — such as Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and PowerPoint. We demonstrated real-world use cases where SMEs saved time, enhanced communication, and reduced manual work through Copilot’s smart suggestions and automation features.

Many attendees were surprised to learn that up to 50% of the licensing cost can be subsidised through the EDG-i Grant, and our team was on hand to guide business owners through the eligibility and application process.

Eldercare AI Solutions: Real Impact, Right Now
A highlight of the summit was our showcase of AI solutions tailored for the eldercare sector, a growing area of national focus. We demonstrated how AI-powered virtual agents and intelligent data workflows can:

• Detect anomalies and mood in care reports with voice and escalate issues faster
• Generate documentation and caregiver reports more efficiently
• Provide multilingual support via Teams and Microsoft AI

These tools not only reduce administrative burden on staff but also improve the quality and responsiveness of care services — a critical need as Singapore’s population ages.

Booth Showcase: Copilot+ PCs and Live Demos
Our booth drew strong interest with hands-on demos of the new Copilot+ PCs, featuring AI-ready Windows 11 devices equipped with powerful on-device processing for real-time productivity enhancements. Visitors experienced how these next-gen devices:

• Summarise meetings in seconds
• Automatically generate emails and proposals
• Instantly search files and screenshots using Recall
• Run AI workflows securely without relying on cloud bandwidth

This showcase gave SME owners a glimpse into the future of work — fast, intelligent, and tailored to small teams.

Driving Conversations, Sparking Possibilities
Throughout the day, our team engaged with dozens of SME leaders across industries — from logistics to retail, eldercare, education, and finance. Common questions revolved around:

• How to qualify for digital transformation grants
• What kind of AI use cases are suitable for smaller teams
• How to protect business data while enabling AI
• Whether AI can truly reduce workload and enhance decision-making

We’re encouraged by the strong interest and curiosity SMEs showed. Many are ready to take the next step, and Axiom is here to support them with adoption workshops, solution design, and post-deployment training.
