Project Grants

NAMIC supports the adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) technology in Singapore by funding enterprise driven research and development projects in collaboration with our hubs. Under RIE2030, these schemes are for projects with clear commercial alignment. These grants are targeted to help companies achieve value capture outcomes beyond commercialisation, such as supply chain resilience, sustainability impact, creation of high value-added local jobs and knowledge assets.

Towards the goal of creating value to Singapore’s manufacturing economy, we invite you to apply for our grants.
