Whether we realise it or not, SMEs play a critical role in this country and the livelihoods of many in Singapore depend on them. Making up 99% of businesses in Singapore, SMEs employ 70% of Singapore’s workforce and contribute to nearly half of our GDP.

 

They are the businesses that keep Singapore going. This is why we started the 99%SME movement – to help small and medium businesses become stronger together.

 

WHAT IS 99%SME?

99%SME is a nationwide movement to rally all of Singapore to discover and support small and medium businesses.

 

HOW WILL 99%SME HELP SMALL AND MEDIUM BUSINESSES?
