Advanced Digital Solutions (ADS)
Advanced Digital Solutions (ADS) was announced as part of Singapore's Resilience Budget 2020 on 26 March 2020 to support enterprises in deepening their digital capabilities, strengthening business continuity measures, and driving digital transformation to build business resilience for growth in a digital economy. ADS is designed to go beyond the basic digital solutions supported under PSG, focusing on more advanced and integrated solutions. ADS is an initiative aimed at supporting enterprises to pilot advanced digital solutions as early adopters. It targets three types of solutions: (1) advanced or integrated solutions aligned with Stage 2 or 3 in the Industry Digital Plans (IDPs), (2) sustainability solutions such as carbon management and resource optimisation, and (3) e-commerce platforms that enable SMEs to scale their businesses locally and globally. The programme operates through a Call for Proposals (CFP) model where industry partners submit proposals as Project Leads. When clear business outcomes and demand are demonstrated from early adoption use cases, solutions may then transition to be supported under the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) scheme.
