Singapore

The IIC Singapore chapter is led by its Chair, Dr Peter Lovelock, who is also the Director of TRPC, a boutique consulting and research think-tank focused on the policy and regulatory issues of information and communications technology in the region. Marrying these two focal points are the IIC Singapore-TRPC forums which are organized on a quarterly basis to bring together government representatives, industry leaders, academics, and civil society participants. These discussions, which are free to attend and subject to Chatham House rule, revolve around the issues and challenges arising from new developments within the information and communication technology sectors. Bringing together interested members of the local community, the informal nature of the sessions encourages audience participation leading to interactive and candid sharing from different perspectives. Recent topics include ethics and artificial intelligence issues, cross-border privacy, blockchain applications, and cybersecurity to name a few.
