Mingcheng Lim, Singapore’s country head at STT GDC talks about the ambition to close enterprise AI infrastructure gaps, while handling capacity constraints, rising energy costs, and sustainability issues.

The Ministry of Energy continues to rank among the top-performing government entities, retaining second place in the Digital Government Authority’s Emerging Technology Adoption Readiness Index 2026.

At GovTech, sustainability isn't just a goal,  it's built into how we design and operate our digital infrastructure. In support of the Singapore Green Plan 2030, here are four ways we're making government ICT lighter on the planet: ✅ Energy-efficient data centres aligned to SS 697:2023 tropical standards, achieving up to 40% in energy savings ✅ Real-time energy monitoring across estates via the Open Digital Platform, developed with JTC Corporation ✅ Workload consolidation across legacy data centres to cut carbon emissions and operating costs ✅ Green habits in our offices, from Earth Day light switch-offs to repurposing coffee grounds as fertiliser Together, these efforts support key pillars of the Green Plan from Energy Reset to a Resilient Future.

With election day on the 7th of May fast approaching, it feels like the right moment to reflect on what we’re hearing from Scotland’s digital tech sector. The ScotlandIS 2026 Scottish Technology Industry Survey points to a sector that remains ambitious and resilient, but is operating in a more complex and cautious environment. There’s still growth, still innovation, and still huge opportunity — but businesses are having to work harder to sustain momentum. A few things really stand out to me: • Growth is there, but it’s more measured – Companies are scaling, but with greater caution. There’s a real opportunity for government to support that next stage of growth through investment, market access and confidence-building measures. • Skills remain the pressure point – Demand for digital and cyber skills continues to outpace supply. Strengthening pathways into tech, supporting reskilling, and making Scotland an attractive place for talent has to remain a priority. • Digital is now core infrastructure – Technology and cyber resilience underpin everything — from public services to private sector growth. Continued focus on adoption, resilience and innovation will be critical. What comes through clearly is that the fundamentals are strong. The sector is ready to play a central role in Scotland’s economic future, but it can’t do it alone. From a ScotlandIS perspective, we’re keen to work closely with the next Scottish Government to ensure the right conditions are in place — supporting businesses to scale, strengthening the skills pipeline, and building a more resilient, competitive digital economy. There’s a real opportunity here to build on what we already have and move with pace.

ScotlandIS has released the results from its 2026 Scottish Technology Industry Survey! The results indicate the sector is cautiously optimistic amidst an uncertain climate with cash flow pressures finally easing in the last 12 months.

The recent Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience and Innovation (CAPRI) Forum in Taipei highlighted a recurring theme across discussions on energy, innovation, and resilience: Taiwan’s strength lies not only in advanced technology, but in its ability to coordinate state institutions, academia, and industry toward long-term national goals. Across multiple panels and keynote addresses, speakers emphasized that resilience is no longer merely a military or economic concept. It now includes energy security, innovation ecosystems, supply chain integration, institutional adaptability, and the ability of societies to respond coherently to disruption. The lesson was clear: in an increasingly fragmented world, nations that can align talent, research, industry, and governance around shared strategic objectives will be better positioned to endure and compete. Taiwan’s semiconductor industry was repeatedly presented as a powerful example of this principle. Its success did not emerge by accident, nor through market forces alone. It was cultivated through decades of institutional coordination, industrial planning, talent development, and sustained cooperation between the state, universities, and private enterprise. Speakers noted that replicating this success in other sectors will not be easy, but that the effort has become increasingly necessary. Discussions on green energy, AI, and drone development reflected the same underlying lesson. Renewable energy was framed not simply as an environmental issue, but as a matter of national resilience and strategic security. Taiwan’s emerging drone sector was presented as an example of how governments can mobilize research institutions, infrastructure, and industry expertise to reduce strategic vulnerability and strengthen economic independence. The clearest conclusion to emerge from the forum was that resilience in the twenty-first century will depend not on isolation, but on the ability of nations to build trusted networks, coordinate institutions, and sustain meaningful international cooperation even amid geopolitical fragmentation. From Taiwan-Japan semiconductor cooperation to expanding Indo-Pacific partnerships in technology and energy, speakers repeatedly emphasized that innovation still depends on interconnectedness. Taiwan itself has become a vital node of global interdependence, with its international relevance resting not only on geography or politics, but on institutional competence, coordination, and the ability to generate practical outcomes. Nations that can align their institutions, industries, and people around long-term strategic goals will be best equipped to navigate an increasingly uncertain world.
