Hub Singapore, IDA spur Singapore’s Smart Nation initiative via The Mission Movement

It aims to nurture citizens’ entrepreneurial mindset.

Singapore is another step closer to its Smart Nation dreams, as Hub Singapore has launched a national initiative with the goal of fostering Singaporeans’ “entrepreneurial mindset.”

According to Hub Singapore's media release, The Mission Movement is a community platform that aims to help Singaporeans pursue their "personal missions." It will kick off by researching Singaporeans' wants and fears in pursuing a courageous mindset needed to grow and diversify the city-state's entrepreneurial landscape.

"The movement will then curate partnerships with organizations or business entities that can cater to these needs through events, workshops, talks, and communities," stated Hub Singapore.

Moreover, Hub Singapore is also teaming up with IDA Hive—the Infocomm Development Authority’s (IDA) tech facility—to build networking platforms for technologists and entrepreneurs. The partnership aims to create solutions that address challenges and contribute to Singapore’s Smart Nation initiative.

"To encourage more ground-up initiative from citizens and businesses, IDA will provide open data platforms such as data.gov.sg where real-time APIs will be housed to enable Hub Singapore’s start-up community to co-create useful applications that are relevant to their businesses," Hub Singapore explained.

The Mission Movement was launched in conjunction withe Hub Singapore's 10,000 sqft co-working space at Cuppage Terrace.
