Singapore Digital Literacy Day 2025 Conference
Theme “Nurturing Future Digital Talent and Technology Leaders”, SDLD 2025 focuses on equipping students and educators with essential digital and engineering-related skills while inspiring greater interest in STEM careers.
The conference will offer valuable industry insights, digital learning opportunities, and professional development for both students and education leaders. It also serves as a platform to strengthen collaboration between the education sector and technology-driven industries, reflecting ICDL Asia’s ongoing commitment to promoting internationally recognised digital skills and preparing learners for the demands of the digital economy.
The programme features distinguished speakers from academia and experts from the digital and engineering sectors. A key highlight includes the keynote address by Mr. Damien O’Sullivan, CEO of the ICDL Foundation, and industry sharing session by professionals from technology and engineering sectors on aligning digital and technological skills development with workforce needs.
STEM Learning Journeys and Hands-On Activities
In conjunction with the conference, ICDL Asia will also host a series of interactive workshops, a competition, and learning journeys across the three-day programme. These activities aim to offer meaningful exposure to emerging technologies and foster interest in STEM-related careers among students and young professionals. The existing programmes include:
- 5G and AIoT Learning Journey
- Electric Vehicle Exploration Tour
- STEM Digital Literacy Learning Journey
- Drone Operations Workshop and Drone Soccer Competition
- Pathway to Learn Engineering Programme
These initiatives provide hands-on experiences with cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Participants will also gain better insight in the internationally recognised ICDL digital skills certification, which supports career readiness. By attending the programme, educators will also benefit from the sharing sessions and professional networking opportunities to support the integration of digital literacy into educational frameworks.
Regional Industry Networking Conference (RINC)
As part of the broader programme, tertiary students and working professionals will also get the chance to participate in the Regional Industry Networking Conference (RINC), held on 30–31 July 2025, that is happening on the same campus. Organised by Singapore Polytechnic in collaboration with AutomationSG, RINC is a flagship event themed Business Growth, Talent Development, and Technology Adoption.
The conference brings together forward-thinking enterprises to explore smart manufacturing, cross-border opportunities, and practical strategies for driving sustainable transformation through innovation, talent, and collaboration. Key industries engaged include semiconductors, medtech, precision engineering, and food manufacturing, offering participants a deep dive into the region’s evolving digital transformation landscape.
