FACTSHEET

DIGITAL READINESS COUNCIL

MCI launched the Digital Readiness Blueprint in June 2018, setting out recommendations to enable Singaporeans to thrive in a Smart Nation. The recommendations included providing widespread access to technology, driving digital literacy, encouraging everyone to play a part in strengthening digital readiness, and hardcoding digital inclusion into the design of all processes and services.

2 Bringing these recommendations to fruition will require the combined efforts of the government, industry and community. MCI had convened a Digital Readiness Council in November 2018, that brings together the government, industry and community to provide strategic direction for national Digital Readiness initiatives, and to guide collective efforts across the public, private and people sectors to help Singaporeans be ready to seize opportunities afforded by technology in everyday life.

3 The Council draws on the strengths of tripartite partnership, and comprises senior representatives from organisations that have demonstrated interest in advancing digital readiness. It is supported by two working groups, one to coordinate WOG efforts, and another to bring together industry and VWOs. Annex A shows the composition of the Council and its working groups.
