#COVID19 has irrevocably changed the way we lead our lives and caused disruption to many businesses, especially our SMEs and micro-enterprises, who do not have the resources to pivot their business models digitally in a short period of time.

To remain competitive and ready for the new normal, some businesses have embraced digital platforms while others have taken their first steps to digitalise due to this pandemic.

๐Ÿ“ข #SmartNation and #DigitalGovernment #IndustryBriefing 2023

Last week, we held our annual Industry Briefing. The hybrid event connected the public sector with ICT partners and showcased partnership opportunities and key ICT projects. More than 500 industry partners joined us in person while over a thousand caught the event online.

The Singapore Government is always eager to co-create better digital services to improve the lives of citizens and support businesses.

Here's a recap of the key highlights, from how the government is continuing to push ahead with the cloud strategy and finding more ways to work closely with the ICT industry, to the introduction of sustainability criteria in the evaluation of ICT contracts.
