S$1 billion fund providing non-dilutive, customised private credit financing
The Private Credit Growth Fund (PCGF) is a S$1 billion fund established to provide non-dilutive, customised financing for high-growth local enterprises. It addresses a significant gap in Asia's private credit market, where few funds focus on Singapore-based enterprises. The fund provides customised financing solutions that may not be readily available in Asia through traditional financing today. It supports growth activities such as international mergers & acquisitions (M&As) and large capital overseas expenditures, along with specialist advisory services in areas like M&A strategy, financial management, and supply chain improvement.

Startup SG Equity
EnterpriseSG
Up to S$2M (General Tech) or S$12M (Deep Tech) via SEEDS Capital co-investment
Startup SG Equity (SSGE) is a co-investment programme where the Singapore Government co-invests alongside qualified third-party investors (venture capital firms, angel investors, corporates) into Singapore-based technology startups. The programme reduces risk for private investors by providing matching government capital and is administered through appointed fund managers, with SEEDS Capital being one of the primary fund managers. This is equity financing, not a grant — the government takes an equity stake alongside private investors. The programme covers startups at early and growth stages with different investment caps and co-investment ratios depending on whether the startup is classified as general tech or deep tech. Deep tech startups benefit from more favorable initial co-investment ratios due to their longer commercialization periods and higher barriers to entry.
Good Design Research & Development (GDRD)
DesignSingapore Council
Up to 50% co-funding of qualifying project costs. Maximum support: S$50,000 (Design Research, up to 12 months), S$450,000 (Design Development, up to 24 months), S$500,000 (Design Research + Development, up to 36 months)
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.
