With digital technology transforming every sector of Singapore's economy, it is essential that our SMEs have the digital technologies and capabilities to seize growth opportunities in the digital economy.

In support of this effort, the SMEs Go Digital Division has developed the Chief Technology Officer-as-a-Service (CTOaaS) web app as the go-to platform to digitally engage and support all SMEs with digitalisation resources and expertise, at scale.

The Division also works with key partners such as SME Centres, banks and telcos, as go-to-market channels, to scale our SME digitalisation efforts.
