SEV260529-Singapore Budget Symposium
Overview
The Budget 2026 sets the economic blueprint for Singapore’s post-SG60 era – a forward-looking and pragmatic roadmap to strengthen our competitiveness and reinforce our position as a global hub.
With a strong emphasis on AI, innovation, workforce transformation and internationalisation, the enhanced measures provide businesses with clearer pathways to capture new growth opportunities, anchor global value chains, and build future-ready capabilities. At the same time, they strengthen Singapore’s broader enterprise ecosystem, ensuring we remain an attractive hub and trusted gateway to ASEAN.
SGBS: A Key Post-Budget Platform for Engagement and Dialogue
Against this backdrop, the Singapore Budget Symposium 2026 convenes policymakers and business leaders to unpack what the Budget means for enterprises on the ground. It will offer practical perspectives, actionable strategies, and opportunities for dialogue — helping businesses better understand, respond to, and leverage the latest Budget initiatives for resilience, sustainability, and growth.
