Singapore has undoubtedly positioned itself as a frontrunner in winning over global tech talent in recent years with its thriving innovation ecosystem, mindset for embracing innovation and startup culture, and progressive regulatory environment. Initiatives such as Tech@SG are a natural next step to securing the leading global technology expertise that will help Singapore anchor its position as a true technology and innovation hub. Fostering diversity in talent must remain a key focus alongside efforts to attract tech 'Jedi Masters'. As digitalisation continues to accelerate in Asia, we increasingly see a shift towards open and collaborative models of business. Companies can no longer innovate in silos and must instead embrace the potential for collaboration across the full spectrum of talent, to truly spark new thinking and sustainable innovation.
