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.

BuildSG Transformation Fund (BTF)

The BuildSG Transformation Fund (BTF) is an umbrella framework that brings together all the various industry development support schemes managed by BCA under one unified platform. It is not a single grant but rather the overarching fund that facilitates transformation plans for Built Environment (BE) firms under key Built Environment Industry Transformation Map (ITM) areas. The BTF also enables individuals to tackle key transformation areas through upskilling and training. The BTF covers a comprehensive range of support schemes across multiple transformation pillars: workforce development, DfMA/IDD adoption, green buildings and sustainability, holistic firm transformation, and research & innovation. Each sub-scheme under BTF has its own specific eligibility criteria, funding levels, and application processes. By consolidating these schemes under one umbrella, the BTF aims to make it easier for industry players to discover and access relevant support while ensuring coordinated transformation across the entire value chain.
