What is the SME of the Year?

The SME of the Year is a distinguished title conferred under the Singapore SME 500 Award, recognising local enterprises that exemplifies business excellence and has earned strong confidence from both industry assessors and the public.

There will only be two (02) winners for the SME of the Year title under the Singapore SME 500 Award. Winners will be determined based on the highest number of valid votes received during the public voting period, across the following two categories:

  • One (01) winner under the B2B (Business-to-Business) category -
    B2B is defined as SMEs that primarily serve other businesses
  • One (01) winner under the B2C (Business-to-Consumer) category -
    B2C is defined as SMEs that primarily serve individual customers (Consumer facing)

The B2B and B2C categories are determined by ATC based on each business’s declared business nature and information submitted during their application and registration with ATC.

An enterprise that is conferred the SME of the Year title represents not only strong standards and performance in business excellence, but also an enterprise that has earned significant public trust, confidence, and support through public vote.
