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. 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 to take advantage of the services by the SIRC and other government assistance schemes.

Famous quotes containing the words resource and/or centre:
“Your kind doesn’t just kill men. You murder their spirits, you strangle their last breath of hope and freedom, so that you, the chosen few, can rule your slaves in ease and luxury. You’re a sadist just like the others, Heiser, with no resource but violence and no feeling but fear, the kind you’re feeling now. You’re drowning, Heiser, drowning in the ocean of blood around this barren little island you call the New Order.”
—Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)
“In the centre of his cage
The pacing animal
Surveys the jungle cove
And slicks his slithering wiles
To turn the venereal awl
In the livid wound of love.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
