About
Aligned to the Food Manufacturing Industry Transformation Map (ITM), the Food Manufacturing Industry Digital Plan (IDP) is part of the SMEs Go Digital programme that aims to make going digital simple for SMEs. The Food Manufacturing IDP provides a step-by-step guide on the digital solutions SMEs in the Food Manufacturing industry can adopt at each stage of their growth.
The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), in partnership with Enterprise Singapore and the industry, has jointly developed the Food Manufacturing IDP. The IDP will continue to be updated over time as the industry progresses and newer, more relevant technologies are introduced.
