Since independence in 1965, Singapore enjoyed an annual growth averaging 8.5%. According to the Global Competitiveness Report, her economy is consistently ranked in the top 10 globally. Singapore has no external debt, and her foreign exchange reserves of more than US$250 billion ranks as one of the highest in the world. Singapore's development strategy has shifted from emphasizing using technology to creating it through four phases of transition. An industrial take‐off phase from the 1960s to the mid‐1970s, based on technology transfer from foreign MNCs; growth in technological process development supported by local industry to the late‐1980s; rapid expansion of applied R&D and publicly funded R&D institutions to the late‐1990s; and now, an emphasis on high tech start‐ups and technology creation capabilities.
