Smart Nation 1.0

Spurring Singapore’s Digital Transformation

Smart Nation 1.0 was developed to help Singapore ride the wave of change and leverage digital technologies to transform domains like health, transport, education, finance, infrastructure, and the environment.

To increase digital adoption, strategic national projects like our digital identity system, Singpass, and e-payment networks were launched. Some of these products make daily activities more enjoyable in small but powerful ways; others provide citizens with faster, more personalised services.
