Why Foreign Companies Are Expanding Into Singapore

Singapore has become an increasingly important base for foreign companies looking to access Southeast Asia, anchor regional operations, build technology capabilities and tap into government-supported growth pathways. For technology and innovation-led companies, the opportunity is not just about entering a new market — it is about structuring a credible Singapore presence that can support hiring, R&D, commercialisation and regional expansion.

How RIC Helps Companies Think About Singapore Expansion

RIC helps foreign companies assess how their Singapore expansion plans may align with relevant grants, incentives, agency priorities and ecosystem pathways. This includes reviewing the company profile, planned Singapore activities, hiring roadmap, project scope, budget, timeline and evidence needed to support a credible funding or market-entry strategy.

Note on Grant Information

Grant schemes, eligibility criteria and support levels may change over time. RIC assesses funding fit based on the latest programme requirements and each company’s actual project context.
