SINGAPORE companies could create S$17.3 billion in value added, with the support they got last year from government agency Enterprise Singapore (ESG); the sum is 69 per cent more than the value added in 2018.
The growth came as ESG reached 11,450 businesses and supported 13,560 projects last year, the agency disclosed on Friday. Its support is tipped to add 21,700 skilled jobs, more than double last year's job creation.
