Development Assistance
Good ideas and stories are important as a first step to any strong media product or offering. We want to help you, so you can come up with compelling stories and ideas that can be developed and subsequently, be ready for production.
If you have a good idea, Development Assistance provides grants to help you develop it into a script, game design, manuscript or storyboard.
You can also acquire IP rights to an existing work, for purpose of adaptation. This may qualify for Productivity & Innovation Credit (PIC), which is administered by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). Find out more about PIC on the PIC website. Our industry officers can also help you to seek clarification from IRAS.
Development Assistance is open to:
- Singaporean and Permanent Residents
- Organisations must be Singapore-registered organisations with Media as their primary SSIC code.
If you would like to find out if your company is listed in the Media SSIC code, enter your SSIC code here.
