MyInfo provides the ICT infrastructure to play an important role in the digital economy’s ecosystem by making government-authenticated personal data more accessible to government digital services and businesses which fosters innovative digital services to capture new customers. Government digital services and businesses in a changing landscape have to digitalise to deliver more conveniences to citizens which changes the fundamental way in which citizens transact with service providers. As a digital economy takes shape, new employment opportunities in computing and software/application development are created, influencing the choice of academic courses that working adults or students want to partake in to ride the new wave of opportunities. In Singapore’s context, a digital economy drives sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all.
MyInfo stimulates public/private partnerships to bridge government-authenticated personal data to businesses with the consent of the individual. This creates an enabling environment dirven by data for businesses to create new digital applications to serve societal needs (services in property, remittance, insurance, finance etc) more efficiently
