CRPO - CyberSG Research & Development Programme Office

The CyberSG R&D Programme Office, the first of its kind in the ASEAN region, seeks to position Singapore as one of the global forerunners of cybersecurity R&D and adoption. It is part of the National Cybersecurity R&D programme (NCRP) which was established in 2013 to build and extend Singapore’s cybersecurity capabilities as part of Singapore’s Research, Innovation and Enterprise Plan. The Programme Office will receive funding of S$62 million under the RIE2025 NCRP Funding Initiative. It started its operations in August 2023. The CyberSG R&D Programme Office serves as a national platform to spearhead the translation of research prototypes into usable products and services for both the national security agencies and industry. Its objectives are to: Facilitate commercialisation and deployment of research outcomes. This can include solutions to enhance the cybersecurity of Operational Technology systems and Cloud Infrastructure. Promote the NCRP through publicising the research outcomes and identify opportunities for industry collaborations. Create a one-stop open innovation lab for the development and cross-fertilisation of ideas, to facilitate the translation of cybersecurity research with commercialisation potential and bring them to market.
