70% of SMEs who adopted quality and standard saw overseas opportunities grow

9 out of 10 SMEs that adopted quality and standard said it provided them with a competitive edge.

More than four out of six small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore who have leveraged quality and standard (QS) infrastructure have said that helped increase their access to exports and international business opportunities, according to Enterprise Singapore’s Quality and Standards Survey.

The survey also found that close to 90% of SMEs who adopted QS responded that QS had provided them with a competitive edge to differentiate their offerings from competitors.

EnterpriseSG advised Singapore firms to capture this window of opportunity to expand their business overseas through the adoption of QS.

“Together with the two Councils and industry stakeholders, EnterpriseSG will continue to strengthen our QS ecosystem to help our companies build trust in their products and services in these 3 key areas: Digitalisation, Sustainability, and Resilience,” EnterpriseSG said

Conducted in March 2022, which involved over 1,000 companies in Singapore, the survey aims to understand the level of awareness and adoption of QS amongst enterprises in Singapore.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
