Transient.AI has been named Startup of the Year at the Asia Pacific Entrepreneur Business Awards 2026, presented on 4 September at the Hotel St. Regis, Singapore. EY is the official tabulator of the awards.
Transient.AI builds the Transient Command Center, the AI-powered command layer for regulated financial markets, connecting data, applications, agents and workflows to deliver governed intelligence and autonomous execution. It sits above a financial institution’s fragmented systems and gives executives, traders, salespeople, risk teams and operations one intelligent command layer, run inside their own environment.
In Singapore, the firms the company met with are looking for production-ready AI on four problems: credit risk analysis, real-time and investigative compliance and fraud models, signals and response across market and client patterns, and using technology to bridge cultural and other differences. Those are the outcomes the platform is being brought to the market to deliver.
During the same programme, Larry Beck, Transient.AI’s Chief Technology Advisor for APAC, joined a panel on AI in financial services alongside Pei-Si Lai, Group Chief Executive Officer of GXS, and Dennis Kuah, Head of Product and Strategy at Standard Chartered.
The company closed its Series A earlier this year, led by NEXT Investors, and operates from New York and Singapore. The Transient Command Center is available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and AWS Marketplace and is in production with institutional clients.
