“Host to Home” articulates how EDB is shaping its economic development strategies to distinguish Singapore for the future. As a “Host”, Singapore has done well in attracting high value-added investments in manufacturing, services and R&D. Together with other Government agencies, EDB will continue to enhance Singapore’s competitiveness for these activities.

In addition, EDB plans to build on our current strengths and add new layers of capabilities to enable Singapore to become a “Home for Business”, a “Home for Innovation” and a “Home for Talent”.

These three dimensions are mutually reinforcing: businesses leverage talent and innovation, creating job opportunities; while innovation attracts talent and businesses; in return, talent fuels both business and innovation.
