iLEAD is a new manpower development initiative by IDA. It aims to ensure that Singapore's infocomm manpower capabilities keep pace with technology changes and Singapore remains at the forefront of technology development. iLEAD will help sharpen and deepen the infocomm knowledge and capabilities of infocomm professionals in Singapore and build a pipeline of infocomm experts in high-end, niche areas. IDA will partner key players in the infocomm industry to grow and groom infocomm leaders and experts in the following niche technology areas:
- Application Development (Digital User Interface Application Development, Software Architecture, Service-Oriented Architecture, Games Programming)
- Cloud / Grid Computing (Virtualisation, Utility Computing, System Performance Management)

- Infocomm in Business Domains (e.g. Healthcare Informatics, Financial Informatics)
Organisations can tap on iLEAD to build up the capabilities of their existing employees as well as take in new trainees in these niche areas. Such capability building will be done via local and overseas work attachments and specialised professional courses.
IDA will work with the industry and secure "iLEAD Partners" who would be keen to develop capabilities in the above niche areas.
Companies interested in the iLEAD Programme should submit the iLEAD Partner Proposal Form.
