Three incentive programmes received more than half of the $100mn Aviation Development Fund

 These three programmes support initiatives by local companies to raise productivity and promote innovation.

According to Mrs Lim Hwee Hua, Second Minister for Finance and Transport,  the three programmes, namely the Aviation Partnership Programme, the Aviation Innovation Programme, and the Aviation Manpower Programme, also enhance the competitiveness of the industry.

Projects that have received ADF grants include the development of new capabilities for the repair of aircraft engines and the setting up of Southeast Asia's first flammability test-lab.

To encourage the adoption of quality management systems by local aerospace companies, funding has been provided.

More than $20 million of direct value-add over 5 years are estimated to be generated by such projects.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
