Five keywords for the future economy

THE Committee on the Future Economy (CFE) has produced a wide-ranging blueprint to guide the Singapore economy on the next phase of its journey in the brave new world of innovation and disruption. Its report sets out seven core objectives for Singapore: deepen and diversify its international connections; build, acquire and use new skills; help companies innovate, transform and scale up; create and adopt digital technologies; develop an urban infrastructure for the future; develop and implement Industry Transformation Maps and forge partnerships to foster innovation and growth.

In each of these areas, the report makes several proposals. However, five keywords can be said to be especially important.
