Enterprise Singapore

International Enterprise (IE) Singapore is the government agency driving Singapore’s external economy. We spearhead the overseas growth of Singapore-based companies and promote international trade. Our vision is a thriving business hub in Singapore with Globally Competitive Companies (GCCs) and leading international traders.

Trade has always been the backbone of Singapore’s economy. In addition to promoting export of goods and services, IE Singapore also attracts global commodities traders to establish their global or Asian home base in Singapore. Today, Singapore is a thriving trading hub with a complete ecosystem for the energy, agri-commodities and metals & minerals trading clusters.

GCCs are a critical growth engine for the next phase of Singapore’s development. GCCs compete on the global stage against the very best in their industries. They contribute to Singapore’s economic resilience, develop Singaporeans into global business leaders and strengthen the Singapore brand. Through our Global Company Partnership and Market Readiness Assistance, we work with Singapore-based companies in their various stages of growth towards being globally competitive.
