The StartupSG Grant Prize sits inside the Lee Kuan Yew Global Business Plan Competition and is backed by Enterprise Singapore. It awards S$50,000 to one deep-tech startup, giving the competition a clear Singapore landing point for young companies that can show both technical substance and commercial promise. Applicants need a functional MVP with early traction, proprietary technology or solutions, incorporation within the last 10 years, no corporate parent owning more than half the company, and a plan to establish an office in Singapore. Entry is free, submissions go through the competition platform, and the winner is selected at the grand finals after a multi-stage competition calendar. The prize is built for startups that can explain why the idea matters, how it will reach customers, and why Singapore is a useful base for the next step. The competition tracks run from pre-revenue ideas to revenue-generating startups, and the judging places weight on innovativeness, commercial feasibility, impact, and execution capacity.
