GovTech has extended eligibility for FirstDate, its digital dating pilot scheme, to include applicants up to age 45, according to details released for the ongoing application window. The adjustment represents an expansion of the programme's reach as organisers work to attract a wider demographic of participants.
The initiative, developed by the Infocomm Media Development Authority and GovTech, uses technology to facilitate introductions among Singaporeans seeking to form relationships. By raising the age ceiling, the scheme aims to accommodate a broader segment of the population looking for matchmaking support.
Prospective participants interested in joining the current cohort must submit their applications by 26 October. The relaxed age requirement is expected to increase accessibility for older singles who may benefit from the platform's digital matching approach.
Details regarding application procedures and programme features remain available through official channels, with GovTech continuing to refine the pilot based on participant feedback and engagement metrics.
