Honouring the cream of Singapore SMEs

Winners of the SME100 Awards don't just take home a trophy, they also gain regional opportunities and recognition

    For years now, we have tried various ways to cajole businesses into providing information about SMEs in Singapore. We wanted simple statistics, possibly some reports to questions that we routinely asked: Which are the best SMEs in the country? What makes the more successful ones tick? What constitutes excellence among SMEs? Simple questions that we could not get answers to. So we thought: why not do our own research, speak to the thousands of SMEs that read the SME Magazine, get their data and feedback? Then we will know for ourselves - and that is how the SME100 Awards was conceived.

    As the only regional awards for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the SME100 offers winners something that no other award can: regional opportunities and recognition.

    Now in its seventh year, SME100 has taken a whole new life of its own. A record number of nominees each year put their names down for an opportunity to be accorded the ultimate recognition for SMEs. From a single annual award, the 100 has now gone regional and sub-regional.
