    ON Aug 9, 2015, Singapore marked its 50th anniversary as an independent nation. For a city-state with no natural resources, limited land and a small population, the explosive growth and development over the past half-century is an economic miracle. While we look back at the remarkable achievements of Singapore, we need to shift focus to our roles as business leaders in creating our future for the next 50 years and beyond.

    Singapore has a vision to become the world's first "Smart Nation". Every inch of the country will be wired and data collected to build better products and services. This is our future and it will be based on the most advanced technologies and out-of-the-box connectivity platforms. But the question remains: can we bring about the benefits of these technologies as they become increasingly pervasive in our everyday environment?
