Building on the preparatory meeting in Berlin, this briefing will examine Singapore’s institutional and administrative model from a German perspective, distinguishing city-state-specific strengths from principles relevant to a larger, federal system. It will explore the foundations of Singapore’s implementation capacity and key trade-offs: standardisation versus autonomy, speed versus participation, and integrated data use versus individual rights.The purpose is to provide a critical but constructive framework for assessing transferability during the subsequent study visits.
