IMDA aims to develop a vibrant media ecosystem in Singapore that comprises globally competitive talent and content companies in television broadcast, film, animation, games, and online video. This ecosystem will enable Singapore to position itself as a leading player in the global media industry, attracting investments and generating economic growth while also providing opportunities for local talent and businesses to thrive.
From award-winning talent to internationally well-regarded content companies, Singapore talent and content companies have produced some of the most amazing content in the world. A lynchpin of IMDA's industry development strategy is to position Singapore as the gateway to Southeast Asia, creating more opportunities for international collaborations and 'Made-with-Singapore' productions. One notable example is Crazy Rich Asians, a project helmed by Warner Bros Studios (US) and supported by Singapore company, Infinite Studios, where there were 12 Singaporean/Singapore-based cast and close to 300 Singaporean and permanent resident crew members on the production.
As a leading media hub in Asia, Singapore has attracted big international companies to establish their regional headquarters in the country, bringing globally-renowned expertise to the local media industry. To support the development of digital content development capabilities in Singapore, IMDA has collaborated with international partners like Facebook and Disney to involve and support Singapore content talent and companies in the creation of multi-platform digital content for distribution on Facebook's and Disney's platforms.
IMDA is committed to supporting and catalysing innovative content creation in the media industry in Singapore, uplifting the capabilities of local talent and companies to ensure a vibrant and thriving media ecosystem in the country.
