Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) has launched two new programs to help food and beverage (F&B) companies boost productivity through process optimization and centralised food preparation. The F&B Process Optimisation Programme (POP) will help companies review and optimize outlet processes, with four approved consultancy firms providing guidance on outlet space optimisation, technology implementation, and menu design. The FoodX programme supports companies in centralising food preparation by matching them with suitable contract manufacturers from an expanded network of over 60 food manufacturing and equipment manufacturing partners. Eligible companies can receive up to 50% grant support to reduce initial outsourcing costs. The Singapore Productivity Centre will match participating F&B businesses with suitable food manufacturers based on their specific needs. EnterpriseSG will continue to facilitate collaborations to enable F&B companies to leverage shared resources and unlock economies of scale to achieve cost savings. The report aims to develop a practical tool to measure business performance and identify areas of improvement, helping F&B businesses stay competitive in an evolving market. EnterpriseSG has also announced a partnership with UOB to accelerate digital and artificial intelligence (AI) adoption across F&B companies, with services and solutions available from 2026. The partnership will enable EnterpriseSG to accelerate adoption of digital solutions across the F&B sector by tapping UOB’s network of SMEs and partner networks.
