As part of the efforts to support enterprises in their digital transformation, IMDA has also partnered Accenture to launch the Digital Leaders in Emerging Tech Pilot (DLET Pilot).
IMDA recognises the potential of using emerging technologies like Digital Twin, Extended Reality (XR) and Generative AI to improve operational efficiencies, unlock new revenue streams, and access new markets. Hence, the DLET Pilot is specifically tailored to focus on supporting enterprises in capabilities development for emerging tech project execution.

The Digital Leaders journey
- Companies who wish to join the Digital Leaders Programme must possess digital ambitions that are mapped to a business growth strategy.
- Once on board the Digital Leaders Programme, companies will:
- Form a digital core team to execute digital ambition and projects
- Chart a digital roadmap to guide strategy and implementation plans to achieve digital transformation goals
- Execute impactful digital projects to create new value propositions and/or build new revenue streams, in line with the company’s digital ambitions
To assist enterprises in their journey to becoming a Digital Leader, we have identified 5 focus areas for successful digital transformation: "Policies & Processes," "Technology," "Employees," "Operations," and "New Market Opportunities." This framework serves as a checklist for enterprises to evaluate their current state from the perspective of these focus areas, enabling them to pinpoint areas for improvement and develop strategies to meet evolving business and market requirements through technology.
To find out more about these focus areas and gain actionable insights, download the Playbook for Enterprise Digital Leaders (6.29MB).
