Crown Digital, Singapore's first full-stacked F&B tech
startup and the creator of Ella the Robot Barista, has joined AIM
Global, the Global Alliance on Artificial Intelligence for Industry
and Manufacturing.
Crown Digital joins AIM Global as the first Singaporean company
together with a diverse range of companies and institutions
globally to support its ultimate goal of "progress by innovation"
globally by harnessing the possibilities of frontier technologies.
This strategic collaboration reflects its commitment to advancing
safe, sustainable, and inclusive use of AI in industry and
manufacturing.
On being part of AIM Global, Keith Tan, CEO and Founder of Crown

responsible adoption of AI technologies for industrial development
globally. We are proud of Ella's recognition as a positive use case
in driving the autonomous future of F&B, especially with the
recent resurgence of AI and Robotics. We look forward to the
opportunity to drive AIM Global's vision, priorities and key
initiatives related to AI with international stakeholders in both
private and public sectors," Keith Tan, CEO and Founder of Crown
Digital
Guided by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization
(UNIDO), AIM Global promotes the responsible development and
deployment of AI and frontier technologies. Aligned with the UN
Secretary-General's Our Common Agenda, AIM Global shapes a digital
future that is open, secure, and beneficial to all.
AI technologies are transforming industry and manufacturing,
offering unprecedented opportunities for increased efficiency,
productivity, and sustainability. However, the adoption of these
technologies also brings ethical considerations, privacy concerns,
and the imperative for inclusivity. As a new member, Crown Digital
is excited to contribute to AIM Global's mission of unlocking the
full potential of AI for industry.
Continuing its support to the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals and recognising the importance of sustainability
and responsible consumption, Crown Digital has also partnered with
Terrascope, a global decarbonisation SaaS platform that supports
enterprises in their green transformation. As part of their
collaboration, Crown Digital worked closely with Terrascope to
measure the carbon footprint of six coffees featured on their Ella
menu, encompassing both cradle-to-gate and cradle-to-grave
analysis.
Crown Digital, a Singaporean start-up aimed to propel the future of
F&B through its autonomous solutions, has since grown to
establish itself as a tech-driven enterprise to bring gourmet
coffee to lovers of the aromatic beans globally through
partnerships with Ella the Robot Barista across multiple
industries.
At the 35th Palm & Lauric Oils Price Outlook Conference &
Exhibition that took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, conference
attendees were served with a special blend of hot chocolate and
mocha infused with MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oils. This
innovative pairing showcased the potential for combining advanced
technology with health products and the endless possibilities to
such partnerships in elevating brand experiences.
Crown Digital continued to elevate its partnership versatility when
it demonstrated successes of payment gateway integration at the
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, through a collaboration
with e&, one of the largest telecommunications and digital
services providers in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Conference
attendees got to witness the swift and seamless process and
integration from ordering, payment to receiving their customised
order of the high-quality caffeine beverage made by Ella.
Singaporeans can also conveniently experience a cup of Ella's brew
by paying using DBS Paylah! or PayNow. This is powered by Crown
Digital's integration with DBS MAX, DBS Bank's end-to-end cashless
collection solution for businesses.
There is no rest planned for Ella just yet as Crown Digital sets
its sights on participating in various industry conferences around
the Asia Pacific region, including major cities such as Bangkok,
Shanghai, Hong Kong and Osaka, as it continues to establish itself
as a trailblazer in the emerging robotics and automation space and
not just a F&B startup.
