Programme Synopsis

The Singapore government has introduced new measures and enhanced many existing schemes over the past couple of months to help local enterprises cope with immediate concerns, and stay viable and afloat during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is also pertinent for Singapore to prepare itself for a post-Covid-19 future, and digital and business transformation remains a key driver in helping businesses to recover and calibrate to tackle the Covid-10 pandemic. The four Budgets and a Ministerial Statement announced by the Singapore Government outline a slew of measures to catalyse the enterprise transformation process, which should provide the necessary help to ensure business resilience in the long run. This webinar will serve to highlight the schemes available for companies to tap on to recover, calibrate and emerge stronger.

On completion of this programme, participants should be able to obtain an understanding of:

  • An overview of various financial grants and tax related incentives announced in the four Budgets and Ministerial Statement to help businesses tide through this period of economic crisis;
  • How they can tap on or apply for such schemes to support their business transformation and internationalisation journey in preparation for a post Covid-19 future.

Programme Outline

1) Key government incentives and schemes, including those announced in the four Budgets and recent Ministerial Statement, to help businesses address Covid-19 impact and better manage cashflow and liquidity

  • Summary of key financial grants and incentives in Singapore, including enhancements under the four Budgets and Ministerial Statement, their objective(s) and the broad requirements to qualify
  • How can your business benefit from these incentives when planning for business and workforce transformation, internationalisation and capital investments, especially in an uncertain economic environment
