Making Singapore a Leading Innovation Digital Sustainability Hub in Southeast Asia

Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) is collaborating with an American multinational technology corporation to address climate-related issues and improve sustainability outcomes for digital technologies. The partnership will look to accelerate the global and local development of software applications and solutions to help industries do more with less.

IMDA and the tech giant will share learnings, certification pathways, best practices, and standards for effective measurement and reporting of carbon emissions arising from software applications. This partnership will look to advance the implementation of principles and tools for the development of green technologies.

The two will co-develop a joint framework that outlines guidance for the development of sustainable software. The framework will be applied through the Singapore GreenTech Challenge, where local developers will be invited to build sustainable and carbon-aware applications that will contribute to the energy reset pillar of the Singapore Green Plan 2030. The framework will also be shared globally when ready. In addition, this partnership will curate and encourage the adoption of sustainable technology solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

These solutions will empower businesses to measure, track and report their carbon emissions as they manage and optimize their resources more easily. This will include the curation of sustainable solutions such as the tech giant’s Cloud for Sustainability, together with advice on governance frameworks such as sustainable operating models or compliance structures that can help SMEs kickstart their sustainability journey by measuring, tracking and reporting their carbon emissions.

Creating a sustainable future for all

The Deputy Chief Executive of Singapore’s IMDA stated that the region is well-placed to lead in the digital sustainability space in Southeast Asia. This partnership will result in innovative digital sustainability solutions that can be applied to global businesses which will provide positive change to our global environment and create a sustainable future for all.
