Singapore Launches Standards And Conformance 2035 Roadmap To Boost Global Competitiveness
By Anas Abu Hassan
SINGAPORE, June 12 (Bernama) -- Singapore has unveiled the Standards and Conformance (S&C) 2035 roadmap to guide businesses in competing and growing in an increasingly complex global environment.
The roadmap is anchored on three strategic pillars that will shape the next phase of Singapore’s S&C development, according to Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) in a statement on Friday.
“The strategic pillars are driving economic growth, building a future-ready ecosystem, and strengthening Singapore’s role as a trusted partner in regional and global S&C ecosystems.
"Singapore’s success has depended on being connected to the world. But geopolitical tensions, fragmenting trade rules, and rapid technological changes are reshaping cross-border flows of goods, people, capital, and data,” it said in a statement on Friday.
In this environment, a robust S&C ecosystem acts as critical infrastructure for trust and interoperability in global trade, said EnterpriseSG, Singapore’s enterprise development agency.
The S&C 2035 roadmap is also aimed at strengthening public health and safety, sustainability, business resilience, and digital trust.
"For businesses, S&C is also a growth lever enabling earlier market access, stronger supply chain resilience, and greater credibility with international partners,” it added.
The roadmap was announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong during the S&C gala dinner on Thursday.
