As the digital capital of Asia, Singapore is the preferred base for Information & Communications Technology (ICT) firms. Singapore is the most digitally competitive economy in Asia1, we offer world-class infrastructure, talent, and a vibrant ecosystem of partners. We are working with leading companies to develop cutting-edge technologies and solutions to support Singapore’s Smart Nation vision, as well as regional and global markets.
Singapore is home to many global technology firms including Google, Facebook, Alibaba, and regional leaders like Garena, Grab, Lazada and Razer. All these firms are part of a rich ecosystem aggregating opportunities for ICT firms to partner with each other and with end user-companies to co-develop commercially viable solutions.
A broad range of companies are investing in, and taking advantage of Singapore’s ICT infrastructure and connectivity to better serve customers and deliver digital services. These include Visa, whose Singapore transaction processing centre serves both its regional and global networks, and LinkedIn, which set up its first international data centre here to handle all its Asia Pacific traffic.
Singapore offers a steady stream of industry-ready talent through its schools, which collaborate closely with leading industry players. IBM’s Centre for Blockchain Innovation, for instance, has partnered with the NUS School of Computing to jointly develop a module on financial technology, given the rise of fintech opportunities within Singapore and elsewhere in the region.
