the Singapore-New Zealand Agreement on Trade in Essential Supplies (AOTES) is the world's first legally-binding bilateral supply chain resilience agreement?

Signed on 4 May 2026, both countries have agreed to not impose unnecessary export restrictions on essential supplies under the AOTES. This will help to ensure that essential supplies, such as food, fuel, healthcare, chemical and construction products, continue to flow between our two countries, even during times of disruption.

Singapore will continue to work with like-minded trading partners to ensure that trade continues to flow unimpeded and keep global supply chains open.

Singapore is well known as a financial and business hub. But you might be surprised to learn one of our nation’s best-kept secrets: our edge in advanced manufacturing, which accounts for approximately 20% of our GDP.

Behind this success is a robust ecosystem and a growing wave of homegrown innovators redefining what it means to manufacture in Singapore.

Old shipping containers don’t usually scream “boutique hotel”. But Seah Liang Chiang saw potential – and reimagined them into Tiny Pod – stylish, compact stays built from upcycled containers.

When he reached out to the Pro-Enterprise Panel at MTI, he was surprised to receive a favourable reply, along with support to connect with the relevant agencies.

For many entrepreneurs, navigating approvals can feel like a maze. In Singapore, that’s changing.

Similarly, the built environment industry is seeing a shift, with processes becoming more streamlined. With CORENET X, regulatory approval times for building proposals have been cut by 20% – helping ideas move faster from concept to reality.

This isn’t just about cutting red tape. It’s about enabling bold ideas to take shape.

Singapore’s energy transition is well underway and the goal is clear: cleaner energy, without compromising on reliability or affordability. But getting there means reshaping how we power the nation on several fronts.

Instead of betting on one silver bullet, Singapore is taking a multi-pronged approach to decarbonise our energy mix with four key pathways: solar, low-carbon electricity imports, emerging low-carbon alternatives, and natural gas.

Together, they form a diversified portfolio that reduces emissions while ensuring our power system remains secure.
