Singapore
Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang said the funding will help trade
associations and chambers (TAC) strengthen their capabilities in management and
project execution.
Launched
in 2005, the LEAD programme is jointly managed by International Enterprise
Singapore and Spring Singapore to enhance industry and enterprise
competitiveness through TACs.
Nine
TACs received their LEAD award from Mr Lim on Tuesday.
Four of
them are receiving the award for the first time. They include the Singapore
Green Building Council, the Waste Management and Recycling Association, the
Singapore Business Federation and the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and
Industry.
Other
recipients include the Singapore Manufacturers' Federation, Singapore Precision
Engineering and Tooling Association, the Textile and Fashion Federation, the
Singapore Furniture Industries Council and the Sustainable Energy Association.
The
TACs will use the funds to help their member companies improve productivity,
expand to new markets such as China, and for staff development.
The
LEAD programme has supported 28 TACs on 37 industry-upgrading projects worth
S$120 million since 2005.
