Prudential Singapore equips small and medium-sized enterprises with the knowledge and resources on how to go digital in a safe and secure manner. It has partnered Ngee Ann Polytechnic and ST Engineering.
The collaboration with Ngee Ann Polytechnic includes a digital commerce playbook launched in in September 2021. Customised to the individual SME’s business needs, the playbook was developed together with students specialising in Business Digitalisation from the Ngee Ann Poly School of Business & Accountancy. These students provided practical help on the use of digital technologies that best meet their business needs. Some students guided the SMEs on how to create compelling content for use on social media as well as supported with chatbot development for the SME’s website. This playbook is also available to non-Prudential customers.
Its collaboration with ST Engineering offers SMEs relevant trainings and customised solutions to monitor and counter cyberattacks to keep their data safe.

To support SMEs through this challenging time, we are collaborating with different industry players to empower them with knowledge, experience and tools, to accelerate their digital transformation so they can stay relevant to their customers,”
