“The new name reflects the ministry’s role in driving our national digital agenda," said the PMO.

The Prime Minister’s Office said the new name reflects the ministry’s role in driving Singapore's national digital agenda.

“The ministry will also continue to oversee information policy and strategy, media development, and public communications efforts.”, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said that the change is not just a renaming exercise but also marks a significant change in mindset orientation. Singapore’s national digitalisation strategies include artificial intelligence and many other technologies that cut across sectors and agencies.

The SNDGG was initially set up under the Singapore Prime Minister’s Office in May 2017 to drive and coordinate smart nation and digitalisation efforts in the Singapore Government.
