Other measures to further digitalisation efforts include:

> Nationwide roll-out of a parcel locker network to improve last-mile delivery infrastructure as e-commerce is projected to grow at 12% to 20% annually until 2025.

> Government intends to deploy 1,000 locker stations across Singapore by end-2022; goal to place a locker station around five-minute walk from every public housing bloc. Programme to help small and medium enterprises scale and access global markets without needing a physical in-market footprint.

> Government support for companies to hire and train mid-career professionals aged 40 and above for tech-related jobs.
