"Amidst a rapidly evolving environment impacted by socioeconomic trends and global uncertainties such as equitable economic growth, priorities will need to shift in Singapore," noted Mr. Nitin Bhat, Partner & Country Head, Singapore at Frost & Sullivan in his keynote address "Key Growth Imperatives for Singapore for the Next 10 Years" at the 2015 GIL Asia-Pacific summit held at the Conrad Centennial Singapore yesterday.

Only through collaboration and innovation will businesses and Singapore as a whole be able to retain and enhance its competitiveness. Businesses who invest in new models of developing and acquiring talent will synergize the workplace. This will bring about a greater outflow of ideas/ products and new business models. In addition, harnessing the power of technology will rethink the conventional workplace by igniting change and enable assets to be used more efficiently.

"The next 10 years would be driven partly by our response to the global Mega Trends such as Future of Energy, Urbanization, Social Trends, Bricks & Clicks and Future of Mobility amongst others," Mr. Bhat said.

The convergence of different technologies, especially automation, data exchange and connectivity will transform and disrupt industries. Jobs will be affected with many skills becoming obsolete. The impact of automation and robotics is expected to require a person to have substantially different skills. Many jobs right now are expected to be automated in the future.

"There could be redundancies of certain jobs due to automation. The importance of digital skills will be much more pronounced due to digital technology," Mr. Bhat added.

sophisticated tourist. Tourism is a vital industry for them.
