EDB is the business architect of Singapore’s competitive and evolving economic landscape. We are responsible for building the next-generation industries that will keep Singapore firmly on its growth path. In the process, we create meaningful jobs for all Singaporeans. At EDB, you will be designing and delivering on new, exciting opportunities for Singapore.

Our focus is to help you to fulfill your potential and develop your leadership skills. You will have opportunities to craft your own career and build on your strengths and interests. You will accumulate critical business skills, such as marketing and strategic planning, effective negotiation, project evaluation, knowledge of finance and tax, and in-depth knowledge of industry and technology trends. On top of this, you will have close engagement with EDB management, key government officials, CEOs, and senior decision-makers, providing a "real world" education to complement theoretical business knowledge. You will have access to continual learning programmes and be given opportunities to drive projects, head up regional operations, and lead divisions.

With 19 offices around the globe, stretching from Shanghai to Stockholm, the work at EDB is truly international in nature. It may be meetings with leading companies in North America, negotiations in India over a free-trade agreement, a job posting in Europe to market Singapore to potential clients there while seeking new growth opportunities for Singapore, or even a Masters or Executive Development programme with a top university overseas. The scope for international exposure during your career at EDB is unlimited.

At EDB, you will be working in an environment which welcomes a questioning mindset. An environment which prizes flexibility. An environment which strongly emphasizes meritocracy, allowing people to progress on the strengths of their talents and achievements. You will be given ownership and responsibility for your professional tasks. And you will be able to draw on a network of like-minded peers as well as a large base of contacts from the industry and public sector to harness their ideas.

Over the last four decades, EDB has successfully grown and adapted to new global environments and challenges without losing sight of its mission and vision.

EDB encourages an entrepreneurial mindset and people who can deliver practical and “out-of textbook” perspectives to business issues. EDB enables you to discover new frontiers.
