It is part of the new masterplan of the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) and the Ministry of Finance to drive innovation.
It has three key thrusts.
First, the public sector will work with the private and people sectors to co-create for higher value.
An example would be the way the Land Transport Authority works with Google to combine live traffic feeds as well as public transportation data with Google Maps.
The second is to connect with citizens in the shaping of public policies - and increase active participation - through social media.
A third focus is on transforming the whole-of-government to better deliver services to the public.
IDA will design the next generation ICT infrastructure that will facilitate mass collaboration, shared systems, services and processes.
