Key Agencies and What They Fund

Last reviewed: April 2026

Singapore's government support landscape is easier to navigate when you distinguish between agencies that shape policy, institutions that curate digital pathways, and portals that handle submission workflow.

Enterprise Singapore

Enterprise Singapore is central to many capability-building and growth schemes such as PSG, EDG, and MRA.

IMDA

IMDA is especially relevant for digitalisation pathways, including advisory resources, industry digital plans, and related solution frameworks.

Business Grants Portal

BGP is a key system of record for many grant applications, clarifications, and selected post-approval workflows.

Beyond agencies: non-government pathways

Not all funding opportunities are agency-led. SMEs should also monitor:

  • accelerator programmes from ecosystem operators and corporate partners
  • pilot or challenge funding linked to deployment outcomes
  • lender-led and investor-led financing routes where relevant
