SINGAPORE - Industry-led coalitions have been formed in seven key growth areas such as robotics and environmental sustainability, to devise ideas for projects and generate new jobs, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on Saturday .
On the industry-led alliances, he said these will explore and execute new ideas in the coming months in seven areas: robotics, e-commerce, environmental sustainability, digitalisation of supply chains and the built environment, education technology as well as enabling safe travel and tourism. A third alliance will focus on enabling safe and innovative visitor experiences, given how Covid-19 has fundamentally changed travel and tourism.
Covid-19 has accelerated e-commerce adoption among consumers and retailers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises , it noted, adding that physical retail is likely to remain due to the convenience of neighbourhood stores and retail hubs situated next to transport nodes such as MRT stations and bus interchanges.
