GovTech, Qlik team up to enhance public sector's data science capabilities

It offers public officers access to learning resources, and the latest development tools.

The Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech) and Qlik have signed a three-year Memorandum of Intent (MOI), aimed to deepen public sector officers’ expertise and capabilities in the field of data science, a press release revealed.

Both parties will build capabilities within the public sector in data discovery and visual analytics, which is said to be in line with the country’s Smart Nation initiative.

The deal will offer public officers access to learning resources, industry-best practices and the latest development tools to enhance their skill sets in data literacy and visual analytics. Qlik will also be a part of the Data Arcade Tournament, GovTech’s annual visual analytics competition, providing a platform for public officers to create such solutions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
