How to Register a Business in Singapore: A Step-by-Step Guide Using GoBusiness and Bizfile

/

Starting a business in Singapore involves more than choosing a business idea and opening a bank account. Before you begin operating, you may need to register your business with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) and obtain any licences or approvals required for your activities.

For entrepreneurs researching how to register a business in Singapore, the GoBusiness Portal is a useful starting point for government business services, licences and regulatory information. However, the actual registration of a business entity is completed through ACRA’s Bizfile portal.

This guide explains the Singapore business registration process, including how to choose a business structure, reserve a business name, register through Bizfile, understand the costs, and identify the steps required after registration.

Tech for Good: How Technology Is Transforming Social Services in Singapore

/

Technology is changing more than the way businesses operate. In Singapore, it is also transforming how social services are delivered to seniors, families, vulnerable communities, and people who need additional support.

From digital case-management platforms and data sharing to artificial intelligence, automation, and connected devices, technology is helping social service agencies (SSAs) improve coordination, reduce administrative work, and provide more accessible support.

Singapore’s approach increasingly focuses on using technology not simply to digitise existing processes, but to create more user-centric, data-driven, efficient, and connected social services.

The National Council of Social Service (NCSS) now guides the sector through its Social Service Sector Digital Strategy and Social Services Digitalisation Playbook, which encourage agencies to strengthen digital capabilities, data governance, cybersecurity, and technology adoption.

Smart Nation 2.0: Initiatives in Singapore

/

Singapore has spent more than a decade building a digitally connected economy and society. From digital government services and cashless payments to artificial intelligence, smart-city technologies and digital identity, technology has become an important part of everyday life in Singapore.

In 2024, Singapore introduced Smart Nation 2.0, a refreshed version of its national digital strategy. The initiative builds on the foundations of the original Smart Nation programme launched in 2014 while responding to major changes in technology, particularly the rise of generative AI, digital platforms, cybersecurity threats and increasingly connected services.

Smart Nation 2.0 is built around three goals: Trust, Growth and Community. Rather than focusing only on getting people and businesses to adopt technology, the new strategy places greater emphasis on using technology effectively while making Singapore’s digital environment safe, inclusive and beneficial to society.

For businesses, Smart Nation 2.0 creates opportunities around AI, cloud computing, automation, cybersecurity, data analytics and digital transformation. For citizens, it aims to make digital services more accessible, secure and useful.

What Life Inside a GovTech Internship Is Like

/

An internship can be an important step for students and young professionals who want to understand what working in technology is actually like. For those interested in public-sector technology, a GovTech Singapore internship offers an opportunity to see how software, data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital services are used to solve problems that affect millions of people.

The Government Technology Agency of Singapore, commonly known as GovTech Singapore, works with public agencies to build technology and digital services for citizens, businesses and government officers.

An internship in this environment can be different from working on a typical commercial technology product. Instead of focusing primarily on customers, revenue or market share, teams may work on problems involving public services, accessibility, security, data protection and government operations.

So, what is life inside a GovTech internship actually like?

From collaborating with experienced professionals and working on real technology projects to learning how government digital services are designed and delivered, an internship can provide exposure to many different aspects of technology.

Your development partner can influence everything from website performance and user experience to payment processing, SEO, security, integrations, scalability, and ongoing maintenance.

A successful e-commerce website needs to do more than look attractive. It should help customers discover products, compare options, complete secure payments, track orders, and return to your business across desktop and mobile devices.

For Singapore SMEs, digitalisation is also becoming an important part of business growth. IMDA’s digitalisation initiatives provide resources and guidance for businesses adopting digital solutions.
