Startup SG Tech: Up to $400K (PoC) or $800K (PoV) for Deep Tech

Startup SG Tech, administered by Enterprise Singapore, funds Proof-of-Concept (PoC) and Proof-of-Value (PoV) projects for startups with proprietary technology across 9 domains, including Clean Technology, which covers most circular economy hardware and materials-science ventures.

Funding

Up to $400,000 for PoC, or up to $800,000 for PoV, raised from $250,000 and $500,000 respectively as of 2 January 2025. Funding is milestone-based rather than reimbursement-based.

What it requires

• A paid-up capital injection of 10% of the grant for PoC, or 20% for PoV.
• An equity component: Enterprise Singapore or its nominee can exercise a share subscription of up to 50% of the awarded grant, capped at 49% of total shareholding, at a qualifying equity financing round.
• Proprietary, genuinely innovative technology, not a service, F&B, or retail concept. (Those should look at Startup SG Founder instead.)
