Singapore

ALL parties here should collaborate to harness the full potential that disruptive technologies may bring, so that economic restructuring can yield the highest levels of benefits for everyone, said Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam at the launch of an incubator on Thursday.

Speaking to invited guests at the opening of technology and consulting corporation IBM's Watson Centre at Marina Bay, Mr Tharman stressed that disruption is bound to happen in economies around the world, but Singapore should work hard in anticipating the challenges that disruption may bring.
