Paving the Way Towards Our Digital Future

“A Smart Nation that we can trust, helps us grow, and keeps us together.”

Today, Singaporeans embrace the use of digital technologies in their daily lives. Many are also open to trying out new technologies. The Ministry of Communications and Information (MCI) will create a trusted environment where Singaporeans can use technology with confidence and continue to benefit from developments in technology.

At the Committee of Supply 2024 debates, MCI outlines plans to pave the way towards our digital future. Through Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiatives to power Singapore’s next bound of economic growth, the development of our digital infrastructure, and measures to strengthen Singaporeans’ trust and confidence in the digital domain, we hope everyone can thrive in our digital future.

Uplift Economic Potential Through Digital

The Government will invest more than S$1 billion over the next five years into AI compute, talent, and industry development. MCI will build capabilities in our people and businesses to seize opportunities in an AI-enabled future.
