GovTech is Singapore’s lead agency for digital government and the Smart Nation initiative. We build and deploy technology that meaningfully improves lives — for citizens, businesses, and the public sector.
Digital Economy Products (DEP) is a division within GovTech that operates with the pace and rigour of a modern product company. Our teams tackle high-stakes problems across Singapore’s public sectors — Healthcare, Manpower, Trade and Finance, National Development, Sustainability, and more — and build digital products that serve millions.
Many of Singapore’s most critical government systems were built decades ago — pioneering for their time, but now running on aging technology, tightly bound to vendor dependencies, and struggling to keep pace with evolving policy and industry demands. We are bringing these platforms in-house and rebuilding them from the ground up — rethinking not just the technology, but the operating models, user experiences, and regulatory workflows they underpin.
Two flagship programmes are currently underway:
TradeNet — Singapore’s National Single Window for trade permit processing. Launched in the late 1980s, it processes over 9 million permit applications annually across import, export, and transshipment, contributing to approximately 10% of national tax revenues. Designated as critical IT infrastructure, TradeNet is being brought in-house to secure Singapore’s technology sovereignty over one of its most consequential trade systems.
CoreNet X — Singapore’s national digital platform for regulatory approval of building works. It unifies eight regulatory agencies into a single BIM-based submission and processing system, transforming how the built environment sector interacts with government.
Both programmes sit at the intersection of complex regulation, enterprise-scale technology, and high public-sector impact. As a Principal Product Manager at DEP, you will be at the centre of this transformation — working at the frontier of how government systems are redesigned, rebuilt, and reimagined for the future.
