Singapore has established a new digital office comprising 45 employees from three government agencies, with the aim to drive growth opportunities for the local technology sector. Called Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), the new entity also serves as a centralised contact point for the industry and hopes this streamlined approach will allow it to better understand the needs of companies in the local community and cultivate future local talent.
The inter-agency office brings together the Economic Development Board (EDB), Enterprise Singapore, and Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), gathering skillsets in industry development, market access, capability development, and policy formulation.
