Industry Background



A Global Leader in Infocomm Services

Singapore's infocomm services industry is well-positioned to tap into the new business opportunities of the digital age. An early mover in infocomm technology, Singapore today ranks as the second most network-ready country in the world and the first in Asia, according to the World Economic Forum's "Global Information Technology Report 2010/2011". The roll out of the Intelligent Nation 2015 Master Plan and the National Broadband Network will further strengthen Singapore's infrastructure network.



An IT Business Hub

Aside from excellent infrastructure, infocomm services companies are drawn to Singapore because of its robust intellectual property protection regime, good physical and trade connectivity, and easy access to global talent. Companies from across the infocomm services space, spanning Internet, software, and services, have undertaken a full suite of business activities in Singapore, from headquarter functions, research and development, to the deployment of solutions to global markets. The presence of these leading companies has created significant synergies for the industry, and provides fertile ground for collaboration.


The Internet 2.0 revolution is also creating a new generation of web-based applications that is transforming business models and the way people communicate. Singapore has its finger on the pulse of this revolution and aims to harness the Internet to serve the global market.



A Strategic Geographical Node

Singapore's strategic geographical location and cosmopolitan environment provide companies a vantage point for meeting the needs of a rapidly developing Asia. As Asia becomes the next driver of demand and innovations, Singapore is well-positioned to help infocomm services companies better understand and meet the needs of consumers across Asia and beyond.
