If venture capital is the fuel, grants are the ignition. They help you start before investors are ready to bet big, and they buy time to prove that your deep tech actually works outside the lab.
Singapore’s grant ecosystem is designed precisely for this stage. It’s structured, selective, and generous if you can match innovation with execution.
Grants are not free money, they’re structured commitments. You’ll be audited, benchmarked, and asked to show results. But for deep-tech founders, that’s the beauty of it, the system rewards discipline and proof.
Singapore’s grant ecosystem gives you space to build something ambitious before venture capital steps in. Play it right, and these programmes won’t just fund your research, they’ll make your science investable.
