Future Communications R&D Programme

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF) are investing close to S$70 million to future-proof Singapore’s communications and connectivity capabilities, through the launch of the Future Communications Research and Development Programme (FCP).

The four-year programme, hosted by the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), will strengthen Singapore’s 5G ecosystem and accelerate the research and translation of future communication technologies. 

The FCP will support AI and Cybersecurity research for the next-generation communications infrastructure, support innovative testbeds and provide scholarships for those who wish to pursue research work in the area of future communications. The FCP will also look to build and strengthen international partnerships and collaborations across borders.
