Acronis Wins Singapore Workforce Transformation Award
KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 (Bernama) -- Acronis, a global cybersecurity and data protection company, announced that Acronis Asia Research and Development Pte Ltd has won the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) category of the Workforce Transformation Award for Information & Communications at the SGTech Industry Gala 2026.
The company was recognised for its continued investment in upskilling and reskilling its Singapore-based software development and research and development (R&D) teams, as well as its broader adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across the organisation.
Over a two-year period, Acronis committed to upskill 54 local employees, including 48 R&D engineers, from its Singapore workforce of 145. Training covered AI, software architecture, full-stack development, DevOps, quality assurance, incident investigation and product security.
“This recognition is a testament to our Singapore R&D team and to Acronis’ long-term commitment to developing local engineering talent.
“By combining skills-first development, job redesign and practical AI upskilling, we are helping our engineers grow with the business while strengthening Singapore’s future-ready technology workforce,” said Acronis Chief Executive Officer, Jan-Jaap “JJ” Jager.
Presented by Singapore's Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) in partnership with SGTech, the Workforce Transformation Award recognises organisations that demonstrate outstanding commitment and innovation in workforce development, including skills-first practices and job redesign.
Acronis in a statement said it has also launched a company-wide AI transformation initiative to improve productivity, accelerate innovation and support business outcomes across its global workforce.
The initiative is led by a Singapore-based C-level AI champion and includes in-house training programmes, cross-departmental learning sessions and AI workshops to help employees apply AI tools and AI agents more effectively in their daily work.
The Workforce Transformation Award adds to Acronis’ momentum in Singapore as the company continues to invest in AI adoption, cyber protection innovation, and local engineering talent development.
