Singapore’s latest 10-year infocomm masterplan, the Intelligent Nation 2015, or iN2015, represents the country’s continued efforts to harness infocomm for economic and social development. Its vision is to transform Singapore into an Intelligent Nation, Global City, powered by Infocomm by 2015.
The iN2015 masterplan aims to lead the way forward, into a future where infocomm will transform and become intrinsic in the way people live, learn, work and interact. It will further support the country’s transformation into a knowledge-based economy with innovation-led growth.
To support the iN2015 vision, it is important for Singapore to develop a vibrant infocomm eco-system. To achieve this, IDA is working with its various partners in the infocomm ecosystem on three strategic thrusts: encouraging sophisticated demand for infocomm; fostering creation of innovative services and knowledge capital; and strengthening Singapore as an Economic Hub.
