    ONE OF the very few things that Singapore is infamous for is an overuse of acronyms. Singapore Budget 2023 introduced a new one – EIS – that would be EIS-y (read: easy) on the ears of business owners and leaders.

    The Enterprise Innovation Scheme announced during Budget 2023 looks set to be a game changer for businesses stuck between the crucial need to innovate to stay competitive and tackling rising costs amid a tight labour market.

    As Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong said, innovation is not without risk; and with geopolitical uncertainties and headwinds added to the mix, investing in innovation may be a difficult move to make for many.
