Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG)
The Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG) helps businesses improve their energy efficiency by co-funding investment in energy-efficient equipment across multiple sectors. The grant supports companies in transitioning towards more sustainable operations while reducing both energy costs and carbon footprint. The EEG provides two tiers of support: the base tier supports pre-approved energy-efficient equipment up to S$30,000 per company across six key sectors (Construction, Data Centres, Food Services, Maritime, Manufacturing, Retail), while the advanced tier supports larger investments up to S$350,000 that drive greater energy efficiency (available only for Construction, Manufacturing, and Maritime sectors). Equipment must demonstrate energy savings and be deployed in Singapore. Note: Data Centre users are administered by IMDA (not EnterpriseSG) and have a separate grant window extended to 31 March 2027. See the IMDA Energy Efficiency Grant for details.

The fund supports practical, implementation-level projects that result in measurable reductions in waste. The fund prioritises projects with new and innovative processes and concepts, particularly those targeting waste streams with low recycling rates such as food, plastic, and glass waste. Projects can include redesigning production processes, installing recycling infrastructure, implementing innovative waste sorting systems, and upgrading operations to reduce waste or increase recycling volumes.
Water Efficiency Fund (WEF)
PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency
Up to S$5 million for recycling projects, up to S$300,000 or 50% for water efficient equipment
The Water Efficiency Fund (WEF) was launched by PUB in 2007 to encourage organisations to seek efficient and innovative ways to manage their water demand.

SMEs Go Digital
IMDA
Up to 50% of eligible costs for SMEs (30% for non-SMEs), capped at S$30,000 per company per financial year
The SMEs Go Digital programme is IMDA's flagship initiative to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) adopt digital technologies to improve operations and generate new revenue. SMEs are at the heart of Singapore's economy, employing two-thirds of the workforce and contributing nearly half of Singapore's GDP. The programme aims to make going digital simple and accessible for all SMEs, regardless of their current digital maturity level. Building on the foundation of the Enhanced iSPRINT programme, SMEs Go Digital takes a more structured and inclusive approach towards digital solution adoption. It provides SMEs with sector-specific Industry Digital Plans (IDPs) as step-by-step guides, access to pre-approved digital solutions with grant support through the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG), and digital consultancy services through the CTO-as-a-Service platform. The programme encompasses several key components: Industry Digital Plans covering 22 sectors, pre-approved solutions with PSG grant support, the CTO-as-a-Service platform (serving 400,000+ users in 2024), Advanced Digital Solutions (ADS), the GenAI Navigator tool, and InvoiceNow for e-invoicing.
Productive Hawker Centres (PHC) Programme
National Environment Agency
CDW: Step-down subsidy over 4 years (Year 1: 70% subsidy, Year 4: 30% subsidy); CPA: Up to 80% of deployment costs
The Productive Hawker Centres (PHC) programme aims to increase productivity at hawker centres by subsidising the adoption of centralised dishwashing (CDW) services with common crockery. The CDW initiative eliminates the need for manual washing by individual stallholders, allowing them to focus on their core food preparation business. In 2023, the programme was broadened to include the Cleaning Process Automation (CPA) scheme, which co-funds the deployment of cleaning automation solutions at hawker centres that have already implemented CDW. The PHC programme is a centre-level initiative — individual stallholders do not apply directly.
