The Global Company Partnership Grant for Singapore Companies

Over the last few years, Singapore has enabled several assistance programs for local companies, among which the most familiar one is the Industry Transformation Map. However, this is not the only way the government has planned to help Singapore companies, as there are agencies, such as International Enterprise (IE), which plays an important role in helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to expand their activities overseas. Knowing how challenging a new business environment is and the costs it could incur, IE Singapore has enabled the Global Company Partnership Grant.

Below our Singapore company formation consultants explain how to access this program.
