Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) has joined hands with the Singapore Management University (SMU) to start a research facility for developing information technology frameworks for the so-called intelligent city (iCity) model of urban development.
TCS will initially invest S$6 million in the new TCS-SMU iCity Lab over the next three years. The investment provides scholarship funds for SMU post-graduate students in Information Systems Technology and Management, and research funds for SMU faculty.
“This industry-university partnership is a first of its kind in Asia-Pacific for integrating cloud technology with the relevant business know-how to create urban management IT solutions,” said Mr Steven Miller, Dean, School of Information Systems, SMU.
“Through TCS-SMU iCity Lab, we will be partnering with surrounding urban centres across the region to change and re-imagine the way the IT hardware and software infrastructure of cities are going to be designed, built, integrated and managed in the future,” he added.
