The lessons of the past might be helpful here - government support is good, but should be tied to export discipline (i.e. sales in other countries) if the lessons learnt by the Asian Tiger economies (primarily Japan, SK, Taiwan) before the 00s are any indication: https://andrewbatson.com/2019/04/09/rediscovering-the-importance-of-export-discipline/#:~:text=The%20combination%20of,policies%20in%20Asia.

Developing an AI application ecosystem makes sense as well, since it'll develop a market for more fundamental AI startups to validate fast locally before exporting - i.e. reducing time, cost and risk of getting to market.

Definitely, Sales overseas is required to build the ecosystem.

Singapore is too small of a market to sustain itself after all
