Singapore’s SME Centres set for major upgrades by 2027

Enhancements are expected to be fully implemented by 2027 include expanded advisory services.

SME Centres across Singapore are undergoing a series of enhancements to provide more comprehensive and personalised support to local small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

Announced at the SME Centre Conference 2025, Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry & Community, Culture and Youth, Ms Low Yen Ling stated enhancements are expected to be fully implemented by 2027 include expanded advisory services, better access to specialist resources, and physical upgrades to centre facilities.

Operated by five Trade Associations and Chambers in partnership with Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), the centres aim to serve as a more effective gateway to a broader ecosystem of business resources.

Business Advisors at the centres will be equipped to conduct in-depth reviews using new diagnostic toolkits.

These tools are designed to identify capability gaps and recommend specific strategies, initially focused on areas like internationalisation and digitalisation, with sustainability to follow.

For more complex business challenges, the centres will direct companies to appropriate specialist agencies. These include the SME Pro-Enterprise Office for regulatory matters, the Centre for the Future of Trade and Investment for trade-related issues, and the upcoming Centre for Enterprise Financing Advisory for financial support.

To streamline engagement, a unified appointment booking system has been introduced across all centres. Physical improvements are also underway, beginning with SME Centre@SMF, which now includes upgraded consultation facilities and a manufacturing solutions showcase.

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.
