How to use the directory

Start with what your company is trying to fund.

You can then narrow the results based on the company's local ownership and the relevant sector or technology.

Open an individual programme to review its:

  • supported activities;
  • applicant eligibility;
  • funding mechanism;
  • key conditions;
  • eligible expenditure;
  • application timing;
  • official government source.

The directory is designed for initial opportunity screening. A programme appearing in your results does not mean that the company or project automatically qualifies.

Similarly, the absence of a result after applying several filters should not be interpreted as confirmation that no public support is available.

More than grants

Singapore's business-support landscape includes several forms of non-dilutive funding.

Depending on the programme, support may take the form of:

  • direct grants or co-funding;
  • investment incentives;
  • refundable tax credits;
  • collaborative R&D support;
  • capability or manpower programmes.

For this reason, the directory covers grants and incentives, rather than grants alone.

The relevant mechanism depends on the nature of the project, the company undertaking it and the policy objective of the programme.

Finding the right programme is only the first step

Two companies undertaking apparently similar projects may not have access to the same funding route.

Relevant factors can include:

  • company ownership;
  • project scope;
  • activities undertaken in Singapore;
  • innovation or transformation level;
  • planned expenditure;
  • hiring;
  • sector;
  • collaboration requirements;
  • project timing.

For larger projects, several funding routes may also need to be considered together as part of a broader non-dilutive funding strategy.

Learn about Grant Management

How the directory is maintained

The Reeve | R&D Singapore Grant & Incentive Directory is maintained using official Singapore government and agency sources.

Programme availability, eligibility conditions, funding terms and application timelines can change.

Each programme profile therefore includes:

  • the responsible agency;
  • a link to the official source;
  • programme status;
  • the date the information was last verified.

Where a programme is closed temporarily or operates through periodic calls, its profile may remain available so companies can understand the funding mechanism and monitor future openings.

Principal Singapore funding programmes

Some programmes require more detailed assessment because of their strategic importance or the range of projects they can support.
