Communications and connectivity have become the critical foundational technology that supports Singapore’s economy. Singapore has invested close to S$70 million through the launch of Singapore’s first national Future Communications Research and Development Programme (FCP), to jumpstart cutting-edge communications and connectivity research. This grows local capability, to translate into innovative products, services and companies. The programme is hosted by the Singapore University of Technology and Design. FCP encourages collaboration between industry and research ecosystem. It will provide easy access to testbeds to facilitate development of 5G and future communication technologies. FCP seeks to collaborate with R&D partners both domestically and internationally to explore different opportunities to advance capabilities in future communications.
