SPRING Singapore
SPRING Singapore is committed to developing a productive, innovative and competitive
SME sector that creates meaningful jobs for Singaporeans. An agency under the Ministry
of Trade and Industry, SPRING is responsible for helping Singapore enterprises grow and
building trust in Singapore products and services.
As Singapore’s enterprise development agency, SPRING supports SMEs at various
stages of their growth, through a comprehensive suite of assistance programmes.
From toolkits and vouchers to grants and loans, SPRING helps SMEs seize growth
opportunities to compete globally. SPRING partners with Trade Associations and Chambers,
as well as industry players, to identify specific productivity challenges and enhance
SMEs’ overall capabilities. SPRING also partners with other government agencies and
industry champions to help SMEs develop their capabilities and expand their network.
To help start-ups and entrepreneurs achieve long-term success, SPRING offers financial
assistance and mentorships to jumpstart business ideas and commercialise innovative
technologies. Similarly, SPRING provides grants to incubators, accelerators and individuals
who invest in start-ups.
Through the Business Excellence (BE) framework, a quality management tool, SPRING
helps organisations improve their management practices for operational excellence
and sustained growth.
As the national standards and accreditation body, SPRING is responsible for
developing robust standards that improve the quality, safety and productivity of
companies. SPRING works with the Singapore Standards Council and other organisations
to develop and review Singapore standards, and promotes the adoption of standards to
help companies improve competitiveness and increase market access. Managed under
the aegis of SPRING, the Singapore Accreditation Council encourages enterprises to
seek certification in order to boost the credibility and assurance of their products and
services.
In addition, SPRING oversees product regulations that ensure the safety of general
consumer products, and fair weights and measures. Safety and reliability in consumer
goods boosts confidence and trust in products sold in Singapore.
