Armed with lucrative grants and incentives, the island nation has in recent years been focusing on tech firms, investors and top talent – a sector that could help combat some of the slowest growth rates the city-state has seen in a decade.
SINGAPORE (June 26): Singapore on Wednesday said it has plans to create up to 10,000 jobs in the technology sector over three years in an initiative to establish the city-state as a global hub for the industry.
The plan will be spearheaded by a new government office called Digital Industry Singapore (DISG), which consolidates efforts by various existing public bodies to encourage investment from foreign tech firms, support local business, and work with the industry to shape future policy.
