Enterprise Singapore

Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) is a statutory board under the Ministry of Trade and Industry of the Government of Singapore. It was formed on 1 April 2018 through the merger of International Enterprise Singapore and SPRING Singapore. The agency oversees programs related to small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as national standards and accreditation.

Enterprise Singapore was formed through the merger of International Enterprise Singapore (IE Singapore) and SPRING Singapore, integrating the functions of both organisations. Before the merger, SPRING Singapore focused on standards and accreditation as well as enterprise development for local businesses, while IE Singapore concentrated on trade promotion.

On 5 February 2018, the Parliament of Singapore passed a bill to formalize the establishment of the new unified statutory board.

Through the Singapore Standards Council, EnterpriseSG administers the Singapore Standardisation Programme (SSP). The Council consists of professionals from industry, trade, consumer associations, academia, and government-linked agencies. It develops standards for the Singapore stock market and promotes their adoption among stakeholders involved in doing business in Singapore.

The agency also serves as the national accreditation body. Enterprise Singapore manages the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC), which develops and manages accreditation schemes. EnterpriseSG also manages the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Compliance Program, which assesses whether facilities and laboratory studies meet internationally accepted standards.

EnterpriseSG administers a range of programs that provide financial and technical support to enterprises.

EnterpriseSG maintains overseas centres in various countries to support the internationalisation of Singaporean enterprises. In total, there are over 30 overseas centres in 21 countries, including nine in the People's Republic of China.

Launched in 2018, the agency established a Plug and Play Network in partnership with nine organisations in six countries.
