• Business entities registered and operating in Singapore, with at least 30% local shareholding
• Non-Infocomm Technology (Non-ICT) companies that have digitalised and are seeking to push new boundaries to develop new capabilities and capture growth opportunities. Through this initiative, businesses can access a range of resources and support to accelerate their digital transformation journey.

DLP companies can benefit from the following:

1. Build an in-house core digital team: Funding support in hiring a core Digital Team to drive digital transformation initiatives that supports the business strategies. The team will comprise a Leader  (i.e. Chief Technology Officer/ Chief Digital Officer or equivalent), as well as a team of up to 5 digital talents (e.g. enterprise architects) to execute the digital transformation initiatives for the organisation;
   
   
2. Chart a digital roadmap: Funding support to engage consultancy services for the development of digital roadmaps to guide key action plans and implementation of digital projects; and
   
   
3. Develop Proof of Concepts (POCs) for new markets/ customer segments: Funding support for the development of new digital products and services to generate new revenue streams.

Companies will also have access to a curated network of ecosystem partners such as system integrators, technology companies, strategy consultants and talent search firms to deepen knowledge and exposure to digitalisation, facilitate recruitment of a digital team, and to support the company’s digitalisation plans.

Interested non-ICT companies will be assessed based on a set of criteria including:

• Achieved sufficient digital maturity and implemented digital initiatives that have derived tangible value for their business;
• Ability to demonstrate clear intention and financial capability to drive and integrate digital into the core business to capture new growth opportunities;
• Possess management commitment to digital transformation as a priority, and are willing to dedicate significant time and resources to infuse digital into core business strategy, build a digital team, and transform business operations; and
• Ability to demonstrate revenue growth potential by leveraging digital to scale regionally or globally.
