Our mission is to create sustainable economic growth, with vibrant business and good job opportunities for Singapore.
We undertake investment promotion and industry development in the manufacturing and internationally tradeable services sectors. Industries within our purview account for more than a third of Singapore’s annual GDP.
Besides facilitating investments, we engage Singapore’s existing base of companies to transform their operations and boost productivity, and to generate growth in adjacent and disruptive areas by growing new businesses out of Singapore.
We work with companies by providing information, connection to partners and access to government incentives for their investments, as well as their transformation and growth initiatives.
We also work closely with other Singapore government agencies to constantly improve our pro-business environment, and ensure that our industries are supported by a globally competitive workforce through talent development.
We invest in globally competitive businesses through SG Growth Capital, fostering a thriving innovation ecosystem and delivering long-term economic value for Singapore. By providing capital, networks, and market expertise, SG Growth Capital accelerates portfolio company growth in the region and globally. Its investment arms, EDB Investments (EDBI) and SEEDS, back global leaders and early-stage local startups, respectively. Together, we drive innovative solutions, create good jobs, and strengthen Singapore's economic resilience.
