Singapore will allocate a further S$300 million (US$222 million) to spur research in digital innovation as the government transforms the economy through technology.
新加坡將再提撥3億星幣（約2億2200萬美元）鼓勵數位化創新研究，做為政府藉由科技改變經濟的政策。
The amount, almost double the current budget, is part of the next phase of the National Research Foundation’s five-year plan ending 2020, Minister for Communications and Information S. Iswaran said during a parliamentary session. It will be used for research in the services and digital economy.
通訊及新聞部長易華仁告訴國會，該筆預算金額約為當前預算的兩倍，是下一階段「國家研究基金」五年計畫（至2020年截止）的一部分。它將用於數位化經濟服務研究。
Singapore will roll out artificial-intelligence and cloud-based solutions to every business sector by 2020, Iswaran said. The nation introduced a nationwide electronic invoicing network for businesses in January, and also has an initiative to help businesses securely exchange digital trade documents.
易華仁表示，新加坡將在2020年前針對各個商業領域，推出人工智慧與以雲端為基礎的解決方案。星國一月間推出企業的全國性電子發票網路，並主動協助企業安全地交換數位化貿易文件。
The Infocomm Media Development Authority plans to begin rolling out fifth-generation, or 5G, mobile-phone networks by 2020 to maintain Singapore’s "competitive edge in connectivity," Iswaran said. (Bloomberg)
