Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech Singapore)

Our role

Learn how GovTech powers Singapore’s digital government—creating seamless, citizen-centric services and driving Smart Nation goals through tech innovation.

Last updated 26 September 2025

Advancing how we live, work and play through tech

Through our digital government efforts, we aspire to create a government that is “Digital to the Core, and Serves with Heart.” This means making government transactions easy, seamless, and secure; streamlining processes; enhancing accessibility; and leveraging technology to provide better services for citizens and businesses.

It also means empowering public officers to continually upskill and work collaboratively across agencies to drive digitalisation within the government and deliver better services.

Collectively, these contribute to our Smart Nation 2.0 vision of creating a thriving digital future for all Singaporeans.

Our nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic was a great manifestation of our strengths as a digital government. We used data and technology to offer digital services and tools that kept citizens safe and facilitated key activities, such as SafeEntry and TraceTogether.

Moving forward, we will continue to lead Whole-of-Government efforts to strengthen public agencies’ ability to deliver better digital services to improve the lives of citizens. We will systematically improve digital capabilities at all levels of the Public Service, and ensure our digital services are user-centric, secure, and resilient. We aim to be a Digital Government that serves citizens through innovation and excellence.
