3R Fund

The 3R Fund is a co-funding scheme administered by the National Environment Agency (NEA) to encourage organisations to reduce waste disposed of at NEA's incineration plants and disposal facilities through the implementation of waste minimisation and recycling projects. 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.

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.

Enterprise Development Grant (EDG)

The Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) helps Singapore companies grow and transform through comprehensive support across three strategic pillars: Core Capabilities, Innovation & Productivity, and Market Access. This flexible grant supports customised, larger-scale transformation projects that require tailored solutions, making it suitable for businesses seeking to upgrade operations, innovate, or venture overseas. Unlike pre-scoped grants, the EDG requires companies to submit individual project proposals with detailed business plans for evaluation. Since its inception, it has been a vital resource for businesses of all sizes seeking to enhance their capabilities both domestically and internationally. The grant supports projects ranging from business strategy development and automation to overseas market entry and standards adoption.

IMDA

Generative AI (GenAI) Programme

IMDA's Generative AI (GenAI) Programme helps digitally mature enterprises understand GenAI and implement solutions with tech partners to access new markets, boost productivity, and create new products. The programme is delivered through two tracks: 1. **GenAI x Digital Leaders (GenAI x DL)** — a project-based track with a Tech Discovery phase (understand GenAI, identify use cases, receive tech advisory) followed by a Project Implementation phase (partner with vendors, deploy solutions, receive governance and best-practice guidance). 2. **CTO-as-a-Service** — off-the-shelf GenAI-powered solutions available without customisation via the CTO-as-a-Service portal. Common use cases supported include Knowledge Mining, Customer Engagement, Conversational Analytics, Operations Automation, and Content Generation.

DesignSingapore Council

Good Design Research & Development (GDRD)

Good Design Research & Development (GDRD) is a DesignSingapore Council (Dsg) initiative under the Design 2035 Masterplan. It supports non-design organisations in adopting design as a strategic capability for innovation and growth, while enabling design firms to develop new capabilities, services and products that strengthen Singapore's design sector. GDRD supersedes the earlier Good Design Research (GDR) programme and now covers the full innovation journey through three project types. Design Research helps organisations understand users, identify opportunities and validate assumptions, culminating in a validated Proof-of-Concept (POC). Design Development transforms a validated POC into a market-ready product, service, system or experience through prototyping, pilot deployment, testing, small-scale production and commercialisation. Design Research + Development combines both stages in a single project. Co-funding is up to 50% of qualifying project costs incurred within the approved qualifying period: up to S$50,000 over 12 months for Design Research, up to S$450,000 over 24 months for Design Development, and up to S$500,000 over 36 months for a combined project. Meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee funding — applications are assessed on merit, impact and the availability of funds.

Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) Grant

The Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) grant helps companies expand into new overseas markets by defraying costs of overseas market promotion, business development, and set-up. Specifically designed for SMEs new to target overseas markets, it provides structured support across three activity pillars with up to 50% co-funding. The grant covers diverse internationalisation activities including trade fair participation, overseas partner identification, business development staff deployment, and advisory/legal costs for market entry. Companies can reapply during the enhancement period (until 31 March 2026) if their overseas sales in the target market remained below S$100,000 in the preceding three years. Each application is limited to one activity in a single overseas market with projects not exceeding 12 months.

Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG)

The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) helps Singapore companies improve productivity and automate existing processes through pre-approved IT solutions and equipment. As one of the most accessible government grants, it facilitates ease of adoption by pre-qualifying specific solutions and vendors across multiple sectors. Unlike EDG which requires custom project proposals, PSG supports sector-specific and generic solutions that have been pre-approved by EnterpriseSG and participating agencies. Companies simply select from a list of pre-approved solutions, obtain quotations from pre-approved vendors, and apply through the Business Grants Portal. The grant is particularly well-suited for SMEs looking to quickly adopt tried-and-tested technology solutions ranging from accounting software to CRM systems, e-commerce platforms, cybersecurity solutions, and sector-specific equipment.

SkillsFuture Singapore

SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)

The SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) aims to encourage employers to undertake enterprise and workforce transformation initiatives. It provides additional support, over and above existing schemes, to eligible employers for their enterprise and workforce transformation efforts. Eligible employers receive a one-off credit of S$10,000 per entity to cover up to 90% of out-of-pocket expenses on qualifying costs. The SFEC was originally announced in Budget 2020 and expanded in Budget 2022. As announced in Budget 2025, the current SFEC has been further extended and a redesigned SFEC is being introduced under the Enterprise Workforce Transformation Package (EWTP), which launched from March 2026. Under the redesigned scheme, qualifying companies receive a fresh $10,000 credit.

IMDA

SMEs Go Digital

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.
