Singapore is working with Microsoft to help develop digital solutions that reduce the impacts of climate change. This collaboration will look to spur innovation, boost local economies, and accelerate the global and local adoption of software for the industry across the world.
Microsoft and IMDA will share knowledge on best practices, standards, and measurement tools for software application measuring carbon emissions. They’ll also look at advances in the implementation of principles and tools that have been proven to lead to better designs in green technologies.
IMDA and Microsoft are collaborating to create a framework for sustainable software development. The framework will be shared with developers in Singapore through the Green Tech Challenge, where local developers will be encouraged to build applications that reduce their impact on the environment. Developed globally when ready, the framework is meant to improve sustainability practices across the globe.
Microsoft Teams is a great product for SMEs and businesses that want to promote sustainability. Not only is it easy-to-use and flexible, it comes with the assistance of our giant global network, which has people just like you who can provide technical expertise and connect you to targeted vendors. We’re committed to curating and encouraging the adoption of sustainable technology solutions for small and medium corporations (SMEs), so that businesses have access to a selection of technology solutions that can help them measure, track, and report their carbon emissions in an easier way.
Ensuring a sustainable future for all people
Singapore is well-placed to lead in the digital sustainability space in Southeast Asia.
