Who can apply?
The enterprise must be ACRA-registered, taxable and operating in Singapore, have at least 30% local shareholding, be a non-ICT company, already have basic digital processes and be prepared to invest in larger-scale transformation and in-house capability.

What costs can qualify?
Approved digital-transformation advisory, in-house capability and project implementation costs under the DLP support arrangement, subject to IMDA assessment.
Key conditions
DLP is intended for digitally progressive companies rather than first-time basic digitalisation. The programme focuses on sustained internal capability and business outcomes.
For any project where timing matters, applicants should avoid making irreversible commitments before confirming the programme's pre-start requirements. Where the scheme is discretionary or delivered through an appointed partner, the agency or programme partner retains the final decision on eligibility and quantum.
How and when should you apply?
Enterprises can connect with IMDA through the Digital Transformation Cluster enquiry route. This enterprise DLP is distinct from the separate SG Digital Leaders leadership programme for individuals.
Is this scheme relevant to your project?
A strong fit is: A local non-ICT enterprise with an existing digital base, ambitious transformation roadmap and commitment to build internal digital capability.
A weak fit is: Basic off-the-shelf software adoption with no broader transformation or internal capability-building plan.
How Reeve | R&D supports the scheme
Reeve | R&D can manage the incentive workstream from initial eligibility assessment through project structuring, funding modelling, application preparation, evidence planning, agency interaction and post-award coordination, while the company or eligible applicant remains the formal applicant where required.
