Neo4jⓇ, the world’s leading graph data platform, has announced Singapore tertiary education institution Temasek Polytechnic (TP) as the flagship partner for its new Graphs4SG program to meet the growing global demand for professionals with graph technology skills and expertise. The program begins immediately this month with a commitment to training 200+ students by the end of 2025.
By 2025, graph technologies will be used in 80% of data and analytics innovations, up from 10% in 2021, according to Gartner. This surge is driven by graph’s unique capability to harness critical context and relationships between and across data necessary for analytics, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning applications to deliver more accurate predictions, insights and holistic visibility for data. The adoption of graph technologies has also exploded as more data and different types of data continue to explode.
Graphs4SG builds on Neo4j’s Graphs4APAC initiative, launched in 2021 to give back to Asia Pacific community stakeholders by making the latest mission-critical graph technology, tools, materials and training free and accessible and integrative as part of students’ core engineering and business training.
Graphs4APAC also provides ongoing support to help community members address their business requirements. Neo4j’s collaboration with Temasek Polytechnic is the first of several planned partnerships with tertiary institutions in Singapore to equip students with the market-leading graph technology to support the national digital economy.
“There is a growing demand for graph-skilled professionals in Singapore and the wider APAC region to support the business requirements of organisations seeking to solve their biggest data challenges at scale,” said Nik Vora, Vice President, Asia Pacific, at Neo4j. “Our partnership with Temasek Polytechnic is curated to help students learn about graph data platforms and their practical application, preparing them for future careers in the field. The Graphs4SG program is specially designed for Singapore so students can expect a more agile curriculum, with access to an extensive collection of resources created by graph technology experts.”
Starting this month, Temasek Polytechnic will offer curated courses on open source graph databases and graph data science developed by seasoned Neo4j graph technology experts. Students will receive hands-on and customised training across various learning stages, available both in-person and online, with a mixture of text content, videos, webinars, and code challenges. Temasek Polytechnic expects to train 200 students in graph technologies by the end of 2025.
Enabling students with graph technology experience will help Singapore further cement its position as Asia’s leading technology and innovation hub. It is also critical in boosting the nation’s economic growth across the financial, healthcare, logistics, environmental, and government sectors. The Robert Walters Salary Survey 2022 found that data scientists or engineers are the leading tech roles in demand, with 85% of Singapore firms offering salary increases to lure top talent in the tech and transformation industry. Upon completion, students will receive official certification from Neo4j’s GraphAcademy online training program and Temasek Polytechnic.
Neo4j as the pioneer in graph technologies has built a strong market reputation engaging with organisations across a wide range of industries, including government, financial services, supply chain management, retail, and telecommunications, advising them on best practices to maximise their use of graph technology.
Neo4j is committed to empowering the global graph community, offering a comprehensive set of free online training courses with certification on its graph database platform through the GraphAcademy, aimed at providing greater knowledge of graph technology skills that are widely relevant to various jobs and sectors.
