Realising The Vision
In recent years, the introduction of many innovative infocomm products, services and solutions have transformed the way we work, live, learn and interact. Singapore has remained at the forefront of these changes as we continued to make good progress in implementing the Intelligent Nation (iN2015) Masterplan that was launched in 2006.
The building blocks of iN2015 were to establish an ultra-high speed, pervasive, intelligent and trusted infocomm infrastructure, develop a globally competitive infocomm industry, develop an infocomm-savvy workforce and globally competitive infocomm manpower, and spearhead the transformation of key economic sectors, government and society through infocomm.
Today, we have an established infocomm industry and a strong pool of infocomm manpower. Infocomm adoption rates in Singapore have also continued their steady rise as infocomm has become an integral part of the lives of our population.
Singapore has consistently performed well in international infocomm and e-Government rankings such as the World Economic Forum’s Global Information Technology Report and the Waseda University World e-Government Ranking, which monitors and analyses the development of e-Government worldwide.
As we continue to work towards the goals set out under the iN2015 Masterplan, we are mindful that the infocomm landscape will continue to evolve. IDA will therefore continue to work closely with the industry and end-user organisations in the various sectors to keep pace with their evolving strategies and needs, and ensure that our initiatives and plans remain useful and relevant.
