Incentro APAC Partners with Singapore Management University to Empower Future Tech Leaders
Incentro Asia Pacific is passionate about pushing boundaries, fostering innovation, and shaping the next generation of digital talent. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new internship partnership with Singapore Management University (SMU)—a collaboration designed to provide students with real-world experience in IT consulting and digital transformation.
This partnership reflects our commitment to investing in young professionals, equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience needed to thrive in the tech industry.
Bridging the Gap Between Academia and Industry
The tech landscape is evolving faster than ever, and classroom learning alone isn’t enough to keep up. At Incentro, we believe that true mastery comes from doing—solving real challenges, working on live projects, and being part of a dynamic, high-performing team.
Through this internship program, SMU students:
- Work on real client projects across cloud solutions, digital transformation, and IT consulting.
- Gain hands-on experience using cutting-edge technologies and agile methodologies.
- Learn from industry experts who are redefining how businesses operate in the digital era.
- Develop critical problem-solving, collaboration, and project management skills in a fast-paced environment.
At Incentro, interns are valued contributors from day one, actively participating in projects that impact businesses and communities, not just spending the days taking notes in the background.
Why This Partnership Matters
We’re all about camaraderie, boldness, autonomy, and mastery. These values—that we proudly call CBAM!— shape our work culture and drive us to do things differently. Partnering with SMU allows us to bring fresh perspectives into our team while providing students with an environment where they can grow and innovate.
For SMU students, this is a chance to gain real-world exposure to IT consulting and cloud technology—industries that are rapidly growing and in high demand. For us, it’s an opportunity to mentor young talent, share knowledge, and stay connected to the next wave of digital disruptors.
What Interns Can Expect
During their internship, SMU students will be immersed in a collaborative, high-energy work environment where learning happens every day. They’ll receive mentorship from experienced professionals, work on diverse projects, and develop the kind of practical expertise that gives them an edge in their careers.
Our goal? To prepare them for success, whether they choose to continue their journey with Incentro or take their skills to new horizons.
Beyond work, one of the most rewarding parts of this experience was immersing myself in the culture of Bali. Working in a new environment, I saw firsthand the value the team placed on fostering collaboration and prioritizing group harmony over individual achievement. Seeing how this unfolded into greater productivity and team camaraderie was such a fresh perspective.

Looking Ahead
This partnership with SMU is just the beginning. As we continue to expand our impact in the tech ecosystem, we’re always looking for ways to support and nurture emerging talent. If you’re an SMU student eager to gain hands-on experience in IT consulting, digital transformation, and cloud solutions, we’d love to hear from you!
We’re excited to welcome the next generation of tech leaders to Incentro—let’s build the future together!
