Introduction
In a rapidly evolving business landscape, staying competitive is crucial for enterprises. Singapore, being a global business hub, understands this need and has introduced various schemes to support businesses in their growth and transformation journey. One such initiative is the SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC), which plays a significant role in the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG).
What is SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)?
SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) is a financial incentive program launched by the Singapore government to encourage enterprises to invest in both enterprise transformation and workforce transformation. The scheme offers a one-off $10,000 credit to qualifying enterprises to cover up to 90% of out-of-pocket expenses for supported programs.
How Does SFEC Relate to Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG)?
The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) is another initiative aimed at assisting businesses in their digital transformation journey. It supports companies in the adoption of IT solutions and equipment that improve productivity. The SFEC can be utilized to offset the costs incurred in PSG-approved projects, making it easier for businesses to adopt new technologies and solutions without worrying too much about the financial burden.

To be eligible for SFEC, enterprises must meet the following criteria:
- Be registered and operating in Singapore
