Established on June 16, 2007, the SME Infocomm Resource Centre (Abbreviation: SIRC), is a not-for-profit organisation that seeks to help Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in Singapore to advance their use of Info-Communications Technology (ICT). Launched in 2007 by then MICA minister Dr Lee Boon Yang, the vision behind SIRC was for Singapore SMEs to become active users of ICT technologies, and to help them to use the Intenet to improve their operations and market their companies at home and abroad.〔(Launch of SIRC and Infocomm@SME Programme )〕 The first SIRC (SIRC@SP) at Singapore Polytechnic is jointly created by IDA and Singapore Polytechnic. The SME Infocomm Resource Centre is modelled after organizations such as the (MIRC ), (APEC Center for Technology Exchange and Training for SMEs ) and (APEC SME Innovation Centre ) SIRC seeks to reach out to existing SMEs and new Start-up SMEs in Singapore through a series public workshop programmes. In addition, the SIRC assists SMEs by providing technical resources to companies embarking on innovative and prototype ICT applications. Local industries have been encouraged in several minister speeches 〔(Speech By Dr Lee Boon Yang At Singapore Chinese Chamber Of Commerce And Industry’s 11th Infocomm Commerce Conference )〕〔(Speech By Dr Lee Boon Yang, Minister For Information, Communications And The Arts, At The 72nd Anniversary Dinner Of The Singapore Metal And Machinery Association )〕 to take advantage of the services by the SIRC and other government assistance schemes. == Key Programmes == The SIRC@SP is involved in several key initiatives under the Infocomm@SME programme by the (Development Authority of Singapore ). A recent IDA survey (circa 2006) showed that more could be done to help Singapore ’s small & medium enterprises, or SMEs, tap the power of infocomm technology. IDA had launched a new Infocomm@SME programme. This programme is not just to equip SMEs with basic ICT know-how. Infocomm@SME is aimed at helping SMEs to explore the latest ICT technologies and solutions to transform and enhance their businesses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SME Infocomm Resource Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
