A Summary of Our Engagements
Our programmes and engagements are extended to Singapore registered and headquartered enterprises.
At ATC, advocacy is at the heart of our mission.
We actively represent the collective interests of Singapore's enterprises - from micro enterprises to SMEs, we engage closely with agencies and relevant stakeholders to shape a pro-enterprise business environment that supports growth and competitiveness.
Through policy dialogues, business consultation platforms, industry feedback channels and regular engagement sessions with our business community, ATC ensures that enterprise perspectives and emerging industry and trade issues are recognised and addressed. We remain committed to working together with key stakeholders to strengthen Singapore's pro-enterprise landscape, representing the interests of local enterprises and promoting Singapore the brand abroad.
Recognising Businesses for Quality and Standards.
As the administering body for enterprise recognition (eg: Singapore SME 500 Award, Entrepreneur 100) and other business accreditation initiatives, ATC helps establish trusted standards that reflect enterprise quality, business standards and business credibility.
These initiatives not only recognise outstanding enterprises and entrepreneurs, but also serve as a benchmark of how our SME community is performing. These efforts reinforce Singapore's reputation for trust, quality and business reliability, while empowering committed enterprises to build credibility, strengthen stakeholder confidence and advance to the next stage of business growth.
Supporting local enterprises at every stage of their business journey is our dedication.
Through enterprise development initiatives, capability building platforms, advisory and business community led initiatives, we help businesses strengthen their business capabilities, embrace transformation and prepare for future challenges and opportunities.
From digitalisation, workforce development to operational enhancement, ATC with its partners work alongside with enterprises to drive transformation, build business readiness and scale.
Fostering a strong and connected business community.
Through meaningful trade engagements and collaboration initiatives, we bring together member companies, enterprises and industry leaders to encourage knowledge sharing, business collaboration and strategic partnerships.
From our monthly memebers' networking session to industry engagement sessions, businesses and entrepreneurs gain opportunities to connect, exchange insights, explore synergies and build valuable business relationships within a supportive and engaged enterprise community.
Helping enterprises open up doors to new opportunities.
Recognising the importance of market connectivity and international relevance, ATC supports enterprises seeking growth and expansion opportunities both locally and beyond Singapore.
We work with local agencies, stakeholders and international partners to enable market acess, cooperation exploration and business expansion pathways. For enterprises that are seeking foreign expansion, ATC helps connect with relevant partners to assist in foreign entity setup, bridging opportunities and build global readiness.
