How did SG fare in terms of ICT progress?

Singapore scored highest compared to its regional peers.

Singapore scored 97.8 out of 100 in the 2024 edition of the ICT Development Index (IDI) of the United Nations (UN) specialised agency International Telecommunication Union.

The ICT Development Index aims to assess the extent to which connectivity is universal and meaningful. This Dashboard presents the performance of an economy on the various components of the IDI.

The country’s score remained unchanged from the previous edition, but granted it fared highest in the region – next to Hong Kong which scored 97.4, inching up a notch.

The country also scored higher than the world average of 74.8. The index assesses the progress of information and communication technology (ICT) in 170 economies by measuring the level of universal and meaningful connectivity.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
