Building a Smart Nation starts with trust

THE vision for Singapore to become a Smart Nation has topped the national agenda since its introduction in 2014. Its strategic importance was highlighted at key events in 2017 such as the National Day Rally in August by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and at the launch of the Infocomm Media Industry Transformation Map by Minister for Communications and Information Yaacob Ibrahim.

Indeed, over the last few years, we have seen the progressive digital transformation of our daily interactions with the physical world through apps, accessibility to data and insights, and sensor networks combined with smart algorithms that serve to optimise our decision-making.

The digital future holds the promise of a better working world for many generations to come.
