About This CFC

This CFC is a multi-agency effort in collaboration with Urban Redevelopment Authority (“URA”), Economic Development Board (“EDB”), Building and Construction Authority (“BCA”), Energy Market Authority (“EMA”), Housing and Development Board (“HDB”), JTC Corporation (“JTC”), Land Transport Authority (“LTA”), National Environment Agency (“NEA”), National Library Board ("NLB"), National Parks Board (“NParks”), Public Utilities Board (“PUB”), Singapore Land Authority (“SLA”), Singapore Tourism Board (“STB”) and Science Centre Board (“SCB”).

This CFC offers participants the opportunity to partner with the Government, user organisations and other stakeholders in JLD to demonstrate multi-organisation, cross-sector solutions in a live mixed-used environment, leveraging ready access to real-time data and ICT connectivity.

Jurong Lake District

JLD is one of the new Growth Areas identified in URA’s Master Plan 2008 to support Singapore’s economic growth for the next 10 to 15 years, and to decentralise commercial activities out of the city centre by bringing jobs closer to where people live. It will be the largest commercial and regional centre outside the Central Business District (CBD). Surrounding JLD is a resident population of over 1 million and the largest concentration of industrial space in Singapore.

The vision is for JLD to be a leading model for Singapore in developing a mixed-used urban precinct that is:

1. Sustainable : meeting the needs of the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs; where new developments are built sensitively reducing their environmental impact, resources are utilised efficiently, carbon footprint is reduced, and vitality and resilience of local communities and businesses are enhanced; and
   
   
2. Smart and Connected : where pervasive ICT connectivity and real-time large data collection will lead to greater awareness and insights, translating into improved liveability for residents, and more efficient operations and informed planning for agencies and organisations.
   
   

Objectives

The CFC allows the Government and industry to collaborate and conduct pilots and trials of smart technologies in JLD. The CFC:

1. Provides the industry with a platform to demonstrate their solutions in addressing urban challenges, especially those of cross-domain nature; and
   
   
2. Offers Government agencies an opportunity to test out innovative solutions before deploying them nation-wide.

By focusing the industry and Government’s efforts in JLD, the CFC will also create a collection of tried and tested solutions to showcase Singapore’s capabilities in smart city technology. The solutions of the CFC will be considered for full-scale whole-of-government synergistic deployment of smart cities in Singapore.

Test-Bed

To facilitate the pilots and trials, a set of Government Funded Equipment (GFE) (also known as the “Test-Bed”) will be provided. This includes common data sets and common connectivity infrastructure. Participants should leverage on the Test-Bed components, where possible, to minimise the effort and cost required.

Invitation

This CFC invites participants (ICT and non-ICT companies, end-user business enterprises, trade associations, Institutes of Higher Learning, non-profit organisations and more) to propose pilots and trials (otherwise known as “Test Cases”) of cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions in JLD.

Proposals submitted for this CFC must propose Test Cases that are to be implemented within JLD and achieve one or more of the following:

1. Bring “Smart-ness” to JLD through:
   • The adoption of cutting-edge technology
   • Innovation - amongst the first of its kind (in the world, Asia, etc)
   • Cross-agency collaboration to achieve greater insights
     
     
2. Impact government agencies through:
   • Better decision-making
   • Cost savings
   • Productivity and business process optimisation
     
     
3. Impact the community through:
   • Quality of life
   • Increased convenience
     
     
4. Demonstrate “Connected-ness” through:
   • Leverage of Test-Bed components

While some Test Cases have been pre-defined by Government agencies, participants can also propose other Test Cases that satisfy one of the above for consideration.
