SG pledges $10m for the development of global digital capabilities

The fund will be used for capacity-building programmes.

Singapore has pledged $10m to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Partner2Connect (P2C) Digital Coalition to build global digital capabilities in support of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.

ITU is a UN-specialised agency for Information and Communication Technologies.

With the addition from Singapore, ITU has received 700 pledges amounting to US$30b.

According to the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), the funding it committed will be used to provide capacity-building programmes to 2400 regional and global officials over four years.

IMDA, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Singapore, and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore will spearhead the programmes.

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.
