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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
