AfA: Alliances for Action
The Alliances for Action are industry-led partnerships between industry players and the government that will act on key growth areas for Singapore, such as education technology, smart commerce and robotics. These groups will explore, prototype and quickly execute ideas in these growth areas over sprints of several months.
Topics that first began as ESCs, such as work-life harmony, now have AfAs formed to generate action and prototypes from the ideas shared.
There are now 16 AfAs, with five new groups created after the ESCs that will focus on:
- Work-life harmony
- Enhancing online learning opportunities
- Building a national framework on corporate purpose and social impact
- Supplying smart devices to needy beneficiaries
- Supporting caregivers of persons with disabilities
