SGLN TECH is a prestigious leadership development programme for mid-to-senior level leaders in the technology industry.
It is designed to prepare participants for senior regional and global leadership roles in the technology industry, with a focus on leading in complex, diverse, technology-driven environments.
Beyond the programme, participants become part of the exclusive SGLN TECH community – a trusted network of peers, mentors, senior leaders, industry experts and policymakers that supports long-term leadership growth and influence across the technology industry.
SGLN TECH is part of the SGLN Industry Interest Groups (SIIG) initiative launched by DPM and Minister for Trade & Industry Gan Kim Yong in September 2025.
The Singapore Leaders Network (SGLN) is managed by the Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI) and supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB).
