SINGAPORE’S government and businesses are well versed in seizing opportunities through innovation and training. The recent International Open Data Day, on Mar 5, provides a chance to examine whether more can be done in the use of data.
Consider this: the total amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed globally is predicted to grow from the pre-pandemic level of 44 zettabytes, to 180 zettabytes by 2025. That’s 180 trillion gigabytes of data which businesses will use to conceptualise, create, build, evaluate, and compete ever more fiercely.
