Singapore’s next generation infocomm infrastructure, global connectivity and pro-business environment have attracted a growing number of multinational corporations to hub their strategic IT functions and operations in Singapore. These include moving the global or regional CIO function, technology centres of competence as well as data centres to Singapore achieve better efficiency, cost control and governance, and at the same time position themselves to take advantage of growth opportunities in Asia.

Singapore offers a unique combination of factors that makes it a compelling location for a strategic global IT hub.

• It has one of the most competitive IT industries in the world and offers a vibrant eco-system of local and international industry partners to support MNCs in their business needs.
• It has excellent local and global connectivity, with an ultra-high speed, pervasive, trusted and intelligent infocomm infrastructure delivering over 1 Gbps fibre connectivity to almost every physical address on the island, while multiple submarine cable systems provide extensive and direct Internet connectivity to major markets globally.
• It provides holistic support for shared IT services with a purpose-built industrial park for data centre operations, a rigorous set of standards to guide organisations in best practices in IT services and data centre operations, and a highly-qualified workforce.
