SINGAPORE - Tech companies are continuing to invest in Singapore and public-private partnerships with the Government are thriving, Senior Minister of State for Communications and Information and Transport Janil Puthucheary said on Friday .
In one such Smart Nation collaboration, software engineers from GovTech and American technology consultancy firm ThoughtWorks worked on the Moments of Life mobile app. "There are lots of opportunities being created because tech companies are coming here, investing here, developing talent here. They're partnering with local businesses and with us in government as well."
ThoughtWorks chief executive officer Guo Xiao said working together with government agencies in any country presents challenges in the form of red tape but he was surprised to find out how"forward thinking" GovTech was.
